Child Health
Over the past two years we have provided funding to help the Global Polio Eradication Initiative: vaccinate more than 400 million children using more than 1.2 billion doses of vaccine; improve the training of staff to carry out the vaccinations; and develop approaches to overcome the challenges faced in reaching children in the last polio-infected areas of the world.
We are also supporting the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), which since 2000 has immunised more than 280 million children saving over 5 million lives. Within this GAVI has helped prevent over 30,000 deaths from polio; over 1.2 million deaths from measles; and over 3 million deaths from Hepatitis B, reaching children in over 70 countries around the world.
