While the whole world continues to face the challenge of the global CoViD-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) also continues to provide consultation and assistance to the province's strategic response to prevent further outbreaks of other infectious diseases.
WHO representative, Dr. Sukadero Neupane, Western Pacific Region Consultant, and a team from Department of Health, visited the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU), yesterday, October 20, 2021, to discuss assistance in the prioritization of childhood immunization programs in the province.
Dr. Neupane stressed the need of the children who haven't received their vaccine from measles-rubella, polio, and other infectious diseases. WHO also provided insights in delivering health care services such as reaching out to the remote communities who are least likely to visit health centers and keeping vaccine supplies safe and effective.
Moreover, Dr. Neupane also inspected the PGLU's clinic where CoViD-19 vaccines are being stored. He commended the province's response to the CoViD-19 pandemic, especially in formulating a dedicated vaccination program task force and preparedness, especially in the ready storage and administration of any vaccine brand.
While the country continues to fight with the CoViD-19 pandemic, WHO is committed to its goal of universal access to all relevant vaccines for all at risk, moreover, they continue to ensure that routine immunization is undisrupted during the ongoing pandemic.
Amidst the CoViD-19 pandemic, the PGLU also remains proactive in delivering equal public health service to all Kaprobinsiaan. PGLU will continue to partner with national agencies to address immunity gaps and scale up necessary efforts to protect the children's health, especially in these unprecedented times.
