PROMOTING CHILD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING THROUGH ACCESSIBLE AND ENHANCED IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunization is a life-saving intervention, preventing 2 to 3 million deaths annually and emphasizing the crucial role of vaccines in preventing infectious diseases. This underscores the importance of widespread immunization as a key component of global public health strategies.

This collaborative effort significantly improved the delivery of vaccination services to children, positively impacting community health.
