Also, in order to promote conversations conversations about vaccine equity, distribution, hesitancy and government commitment to the health sector, Actions for Development and Empowerment (ADE) organised community meetings on vaccination and health sector accountability in the Far North, North West, Centre, West and South West regions of Cameroon in the months of July and August 2023. The purpose of these community meetings was to engage in conversations about vaccine equity and the performance of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in strengthening immunisation coverage in these regions. In order to collect citizens’ perceptions on health service delivery and raise awareness of the importance of vaccination, ADE deplored her staff and paralegals to these regions and carried out conversations with these communities. These conversations permitted ADE to gather useful information which will aid in the development of the Cameroonian health system.
Lastly, market sensitization campaigns were carried out in Buea, South West, Mfou, Centre region, Mora, Far North and Bamenda I, North West Region by ADE team, volunteers and EPI agents to educate the population on the importance of vaccination, the different vaccines available at health districts and vaccination campaigns ongoing for children, women and men in their regions in particular and Cameroon in general.
