A press release said the centres, funded by GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, will provide access to lifesaving vaccines and essential health care services to populations previously lacking access.
Thirteen prefabricated vaccination centres are already operational in Punjab, Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, while the remaining 13 are in the procurement phase and will be built in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The centres are strategically located in areas with limited access to basic health care services and low vaccination coverage.
The facilities will be solar-powered to ensure functionality during power cuts and natural disasters, contributing to climate change mitigation.
The partnership aims to strengthen Pakistan’s Expanded Programme on Immunisation and reach needy communities.
WHO Representative in Pakistan, Dr. Dapeng Luo, emphasised the importance of delivering health for all and leaving no one behind. The initiative will help reinforce primary health care and respond to emergencies more effectively.
