Here, she introduces herself:</i></p> <p>“I’m a paediatrician, with particular interest in malnutrition and immunization. For the past 14 years I’ve worked in public hospital in Cameroon, recently becoming head of a mother and child malnutrition unit.</p> <p>For 20 years I have also been an advocate for child health and access to health care with <a href="http://alternativesantecameroun.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alternative Santé,</a> a local Cameroonian association that help mothers and children. My civil society activities scale from local to national to global levels. I also represent worldwide civil society for immunization at Gavi’s Program and Policy committee.</p> <p>I also head the implementation of a sub-Saharan francophone network for immunization and health system strengthening, which held its first workshop just 1 month ago.</p> <p>This week, I will be tweeting about the big challenges civil society is facing for the coming years: how achieve a win-win combination of vaccines, new technology, and all the knowledge on immunization with government’s willingness to pay and organize strong health systems. Our final goal is immunization for all.”</p> </div> </div> <input type="hidden" id="post_id" value="529"> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/dr-clarisse-vaccines">Original article</a> </p><p>This article was originally published on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork">VaccinesWork</a> </p><script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-M7H54VD');</script><noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-M7H54VD" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript></article>
