PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Project aims to enhance immunization activities in high-risk union councils of selected districts through community engagement and strengthened service delivery, including primary healthcare and the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI). The project focuses on deploying mobile health units, identifying zero-dose and defaulter children to improve vaccine coverage and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases in areas with low immunization rates. Collaborating with key stakeholders such as the EPI Program, health departments, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and local communities, the initiative emphasizes raising awareness, ensuring equitable vaccine delivery, and addressing immunization gaps to achieve sustainable health outcomes.

As part of the project, the Dispenser will play a key role in delivering essential PHC (primary healthcare) services to underserved and high-risk communities. Stationed in the mobile outreach van, the Dispenser will support the delivery of maternal, child, and reproductive health services by ensuring the accurate dispensing of medications, maintaining medical supplies, and supporting the clinical team during outreach activities.
Aligned with WHO guidelines, the Dispenser will contribute to the project’s goals of increasing immunization coverage, addressing barriers to care, and improving the health outcomes of zero-dose and under-immunized children, women, and missed communities
