Public health
Our international public health consultants work at both ends of the same problem: the regional forums where immunisation policy and financing are decided, and the households where a child is either reached or missed. Health equity means closing the distance between the two.
Aligned to
SDG 3: Good health and well-being
What this involves
Three things this area of work actually consists of
Health equity and well-being: strengthening health systems, combating infectious disease, and securing community access to essential services and health education.
Health system strengthening
Supporting the facilities, supply routes and health workers that decide whether a service exists at the moment a person needs it.
Infectious disease
Community engagement and awareness work on immunisation and disease prevention, including reaching zero-dose and under-immunised children.
Policy representation
Carrying community-level evidence into regional and global forums, among them Africa CDC, Gavi and the World One Health Congress.
