<a></a>UNICEF and GAVI present the Department of Health of Uzbekistan with equipment worth $1.5 million

UNICEF provided the Department of Health with much-needed computers to improve Uzbekistan's national immunization program and general healthcare.

The 2,150 computers will help Uzbekistan conduct successful vaccination monitoring and immunization campaigns, as well as contribute to a robust healthcare system that serves the entire population of the country.

The $1.5 million worth of devices will be given at immunization stations and some other healthcare facilities across the nation, thanks to Gavi's support. The PCs will aid in the development of impactful vaccine data systems, as well as serve as the foundation for the nation's efficient technology-based registration system for immunization and other tech aspects of Uzbekistan's COVID-19 disease outbreak response.

This gift will support the COVID-19 vaccine deployment as well as the forthcoming Measles and Rubella vaccination campaign, which is expected to begin in September 2022.
