The United Nations Children’s Fund officers working in Jiwaka province have pointed out lowest coverage immunisation coverage for Miseales in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United Nations Children\u2019s Fund PNG\u2019s (UNICEF) chief field officer Christopher Ngwerume expressed this and stated that they are committed to support and work closely with Jiwaka Provincial Health Authority (JPHA) and other stakeholders to address the issue. He said this during the JPHA\u2019s annual performance review workshop in Jiwaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJiwaka has lowest coverage of immunisation rate, especially Miseales,\u201d Ngwerume said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are pretty much concern, it\u2019s really putting the province at risk for the outbreak of Miseales, so we are supporting with the outreach, particularly with outreach campaigns for immunisation. We are also supporting health facilities in mentoring the health care workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are also supporting nutrition, particularly looking at children under five years. Eighty-five percent of cognitive development of a child happens under five years so we really want to make sure that children get good nutrition. We also support maternity unitality and child conceptive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further added that clean water for domestic use is also a concern in many rural areas and their focus is on the health space of the rural communities..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said health is a great responsibility that requires collective approach and partnership to address issues and challenges for a healthy society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
