The Ministry of Public Health yesterday received two All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), from the Pan-American Health Organisation/ World Health Organisation (PAHO/ WHO), to help with the distribution of vaccines in hinterland communities. This undertaking forms part of the Biennial Work Plan (BWP) 2015 plan for supporting activities in low vaccination coverage areas, GINA said.
The vehicles were handed over by Dr. William Adu-Krow, PAHO/ WHO Guyana Representative, who pointed out that the Baramita sub-district, in Region 1 would be benefiting from one of the ATVs to expand vaccination coverage, since it is a remote community.
He added that this vehicle wouldn’t only benefit that community, but also the total improvement of health services in the Region.
