SCRIPT

TEXT: Kélé, South Eastern Chad

Under a tree in Kélé, in the far southeastern tip of Chad, women gather with their babies for a vaccination session.
They are among 50,000 people who have fled neighbouring Sudan due to ethnic fighting.

SOUNDBITE (French) Anastasie Nagué, Nurse, Kélé:
“Some mothers come without vaccination cards. They tell us their card was burnt because they fled in a hurry. So I check for scars. In Chad we vaccinate in the middle of the lower left forearm. In Sudan, they do it on the right side. So we identify the scars and then we issue a new card.”
The detective work involved for babies to be correctly vaccinated is just the final stage in a complex care and logistics chain that starts about 800kms away in the capital N’Djamena.
Chad is one of the hottest and least developed countries in the world. Health centres are few and far between and just a third have the right equipment to maintain a cold chain crucial for storing and managing vaccines. As a result less than 20 percent of children under the age of 12 months are fully immunized even though Chad experiences regular outbreaks of measles, yellow fever and meningitis, as well dealing with the dangers of tetanus.
SOUNDBITE (French) Dr Issaka Saleh, HIV & Health Specialist, UNICEF Abéché:
“As you know Chad is a very large country – 1 million 284000 square kms – and the East of Chad is the zone with the least coverage. Generally, children in the east do not benefit from vaccination like others do, due to the problem of access.”
UNICEF and development partners are working with the government to take more vaccines to more children in every corner of Chad.
Four regional cold stores - like this one in Abeche – are being built.
Next, solar fridges will be installed: first in regional health centres then all the way down to the country's 72 districts.
SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Copois, Cold Chain & Logistics Specialist, UNICEF Chad:
“Even in temperatures of 43 to 45 degrees centigrade - all around the fridge there is insulation and a fluid that retains calories at night and can retransmit them by day in periods of 50-degree temperatures. This allows vaccines to be kept in a temperature range of 2 to 8 degrees centigrade.”
Along with installing new technology at local level, more is being done to reach remote communities with information about the importance of vaccinations.
Health staff are travelling further and further afield. In remote villages they collaborate with community health workers to immunize children, screen for malnutrition, and educate people about how to prevent diseases like malaria, and diarrhea.
SOUNDBITE (French) Fatouma Mahamat, Resident, Kelingan village:
“Before people didn't bother to vaccinate their children. These days everyone is more open, there has been information on radio, on television. Everyone wants their child to be vaccinated.”
The will is there. For these children having access to vaccination along with regular health checkups will help protect them against some of the biggest childhood diseases, improving their chances of healthy life.
