The government has today launched the Kenya Electronic National Vaccine and Immunization Portal (KeNVIP) electronic management platform.
The platform will increase decision-making, visibility, traceability, accountability, and effectiveness in service delivery as well as prepare to migrate to the government data center.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said the government has invested USD 16 million in the KeNVIP initiative in the primary healthcare sector.
Duale, who was flagging off cold chain vaccine equipment at Afya House, added that the government has partnered with the World Bank and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and this has not only been strategic but transformational. "Immunization is one of the pillars of primary healthcare and a powerful driver of public health and yet for vaccines to work, they must be kept at precise temperature from manufacture to administration," he said.
