#10 - A health worker in immunization outreach (KWAME)

Number 10: A health worker in immunization outreach 

This picture below  was taken in September 2016 during measles second dose post-introduction evaluation.  It shows a Health Surveillance assistant (HSA) at an outreach clinic in rural central Malawi giving a health talk to mothers before vaccination started. During immunisation clinics, other activities conducted include health talks, nutritional assessment, growth monitoring. In Malawi HSAs are the vaccinators and run the immunisation clinics. Some outreach clinics take place in  simple mud huts that are built by the communities especially in places where school classroom or churches are not available as alternative venues.
