Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Children\u2019s Funds (UNICEF) has donated essential cold chain equipment and accessories to the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

The donation ensures the safe storage and delivery of vaccines to support the routine immunization of children and mothers.<\/p>\n

The Equipment & Accessories were officially presented to the Ministry of Health on Wednesday, 3 April 2024, in Paynesville.<\/p>\n

The Cold Chain Equipment & Accessories is worth over US$400,000.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health recently engaged the Center for Disease Control (CDC)-Africa to procure the equipment. The CDC Africa then engaged UNICEF to intervene in the procurement process.<\/p>\n

Officially, UNICEF Liberia turned over the equipment to the CDC-Africa for a formal presentation to the Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the ceremony, UNICEF Deputy County Representative Amadou Cisse disclosed that the items were turned over to fulfill a commitment made to the government through the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNICEF is always willing to support the health of children around the world, and Liberia is no exception. The equipment\u2019s presentation today fulfills what you asked for,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

For his part, West Africa Regional program lead, Africa CDC Dr. Olayinka Stephen Ilesanmi said the gesture highlights the government\u2019s and its partners\u2019 intensive efforts toward Liberians\u2019 wellbeing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that the CDC Africa is committed to [serving] the people,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Also remarking, Sinoe Country Electoral District #2 Representative Sampson Weah commended the partners, saying Cold Chain Equipment & Accessories has been a major challenge for Liberia, especially in the rural areas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dr. Cuallau Howe has assured the partners that the equipment will be used for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n

She urged the members of the Ministry of Health to utilize the equipment and avoid charging mobile phones on the equipment since it uses solar panels.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t charge [your] phone on it, don\u2019t store your food inside. It\u2019s not for that purpose,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Cold chain equipment, both electrical and non-electrical, is used to store and\/or transport vaccines at appropriate temperatures.<\/p>\n
