Un cadeau de Noel pas comme les autres au PEV Nord-Ouest.

Twenty-nine brand new Yamaha 100 motorbikes were handed over to 29 public, private and faith-based health facilities in the Northwest on December 23, 2022. As a result of Minsante-GAVI cooperation, this equipment aims at improving vaccination services and most importantly to reinforce the outreach strategies of health centers in the community. In a region where vaccination performance has been significantly affected by six years of socio-political, humanitarian and security crisis, it was timely that such an initiative was undertaken to boost performance.

The handing over ceremony was presided over by the Northwest Regional Health boss, Dr Che Soh Kingsley. He urged the beneficiaries to make good use of the equipment and that the differences in coverage should be felt in the early months of the coming year 2023.

En date du 23 Décembre 2022, ce sont 29 motos flambant neuves marque Yamaha 100 qui ont été remises à 29 structures de santé publiques, privée et confessionnelles dans le Nord-Ouest. Fruit d’une coopération Minsante-GAVI, ce matériel roulant permettra d’améliorer les offres de service de vaccination et surtout de renforcer les stratégies avancées des centres de santé en communauté. Dans une Région ou les performances vaccinales ont été durement affectées par 6 ans de crise socio politique et sécuritaire, il était de bon ton qu’une telle initiative soit entreprise en vue d’adouber les performances.

C’est le Patron de la Sante De la Région du Nord-Ouest Dr Che Soh Kingsley en personne qui a présidé à la cérémonie de remise de ce matériel. Il a instruit aux bénéficiaires d’en faire bon usage personne et que les différences de couverture devraient se faire ressentir dès les premiers mois de l’année 2023.
