About this project
Childhood vaccination depends on families being able to access functioning public health services. HRPF’s 2022–2023 performance report describes difficulties accessing vaccination in Mandi Bahauddin district because of administrative issues at Basic Health Units and District Health Units.
HRPF visited the facilities and brought the issue to the Director General of Health Punjab. The report records a prompt response to improve the situation in the public interest.
The challenge
Administrative issues at Basic Health Units and District Health Units were making childhood vaccination difficult to access. The report describes a public-service access problem requiring attention from health authorities.
It does not identify the number of affected children, the facilities visited or a precise intervention date.
Our approach
HRPF visited health facilities to understand the access difficulties and informed the Director General of Health Punjab. This approach linked observations at local facilities with the authority responsible for addressing the administrative concerns.
The report records action by the Director General to improve the situation. HRPF also recognised that response by presenting an honorary shield.
