Within this framework we think it is extremely important to work on child vaccination. For this reason we tried to find the best partner we could have; this is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Gavi is one of the most important global alliances in the world. It involves not only the private sector, but also the public sector, as well as donor and developing countries. This was one of the reasons why we decided to work with Gavi in the first place.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">We began working with Gavi directly through “la Caixa” Foundation donations. In recent years<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>we have also been deeply involved in engaging our clients and key stakeholders to support the great work that this international organisation is doing. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">We are in Mozambique right now, where we are supporting the pneumococcal vaccine. It’s extremely important to see the work that Mozambique’s Ministry of Health, Gavi and all the partners are doing on the ground to protect children against deadly diseases.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">We think that the private sector has an important role to play in global health. For this reason not only do we collaborate through funds, but also through trying to add value to the work international organisations and governments are doing. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Global health is one of the most important causes we have to support, especially in developing countries. Companies, like “la Caixa” can contribute to raising awareness and engaging more people, other companies and individual, clients to become part of this fundamental cause.”</span></p> <hr> <p><em>Photo:  Gavi 2017/G.
