Digital Innovation: Transforming Global Immunization Access

Aligning with Gavi's Digital Health Vision

CIMA Care's innovative platform directly supports Gavi's Digital Health Information (DHI) Strategic Vision of creating ”digitally transformed, integrated, equitable, gender-intentional information systems.” Our approach aims to identify and reach zero dose (this, however, requires access to government-level data, providing the complete dataset, including the data of newborn babies) and focuses on under-immunized children through improved access, quality, and efficiency.

Key Areas of Alignment:

1. Identification and Reach of Under-immunized and Zero-Dose Children

• CIMA's infrastructure enables precise tracking of vaccinated children.
• Real-time visualization tools help identify areas with coverage gaps.
• Digital mapping capabilities support microplanning and outreach efforts.

2. Digital Supply Chain Management and Electronic Logistics Management Information System

• Development of comprehensive stock management features.
• Tracking of vaccine inventory, entries, exits, and expired doses.
• Waste reduction through efficient resource allocation.

3. Real-time Campaign Planning and Monitoring

• Visual vaccine scheduling tables.
• Automated reminder systems.
• Comprehensive reporting capabilities.
• Real-time data updates with offline functionality.

4. Sub-national Data Use

• Detailed visualization dashboards.
• Regional coverage analytics.
• Evidence-based decision-making tools.
• Integration with local health systems.

5. Building Vaccine Confidence

• SMS-based parent/caregiver engagement.
• Evidence-based health communication.
• Customized messaging campaigns.
• Post-vaccination follow-up system.
