Reaching Zero-Dose Children: Human Resources for missed communities

Well trained and motivated human resources for health (HRH) is a fundament for good quality immunization services. Many countries struggle with HRH challenges including low pay, lack of incentives for staff to work in remote and insecure areas, weak supportive supervision, lack of career paths and structural gender barriers in the health system. Community health worker continue to be expected to work unpaid in most countries despite their critical function to connect communities with the formal health system and health facilities. Accountability frameworks are weak and health workers are often ill-equipped and supported to respond to community needs. This webinar will build understanding how health workers can be supported and motivated to reach zero-dose children and build stronger primary health care systems.
