Strengthening Health Care Delivery: Motorcycles To Boost Outreach

Health facilities across the Littoral Region have received motorcycles aimed at enhancing vaccination outreach and other essential healthcare services, particularly in remote and hard-to-reach communities. The motorcycles, acquired through the support of the Ministry of Public Health and its development partners like GAVI were officially handed over to beneficiaries as part of ongoing efforts to improve healthcare coverage and service delivery in the region. During the official handing over on Monday June 15, the coordinator of the expanded immunization programme Mr. Ewane Leonard noted that challenges related to transportation have long hindered the ability of healthcare workers to effectively carry out outreach activities in several localities. The new motorcycles are expected to bridge this gap by facilitating movement between health facilities and communities. On his part, the Regional delegate of Public health for littoral, Mr Charles Yopndoi, emphasized that the motorcycles would not only support immunization campaigns but also other health interventions at the community level. He added that several health districts, including those located in difficult terrains, benefitted from the initiative.

The provision of the motorcycles forms part of broader strategies aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery and ensuring that no community is left behind. Beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Public Health and its partners for what they described as a timely intervention. According ...
