According to MoHCDEC in Tanzania it is estimated the shortage of Human
Resources for Health (HRH) is about 56%. The shortage varies across
regions, districts, and facilities. It is more severe in remote rural
communities. This led low immunization and a lack of accurate information.
We are restructuring complex immunization info into timely task-based lists can simplify and increase vaccination rate to newborn while reduce disease load throughout the immunization journey.
This idea is designed to provide free content to caregivers,pregnancy mothers,new mothers and that target expectant parents in the United nomadic pastoralist, specifically under-resourced end-users. Recognizing that vaccination of newborn is a significant bridge to newborn health and navigating disease risk in a complex/ fractured healthcare system, this idea takes a user-centered approach to provide immunization information delivery to structure info 1) as tasks, 2) progressively disclosed as needed, and 3) in a single, accessible, location with open-sourced content.
According to MoHCDEC in Tanzania it is estimated the shortage of Human
Resources for Health (HRH) is about 56%. The shortage varies across
regions, districts, and facilities. It is more severe in remote rural
communities. Child Health Coordinators are overwhelmed with other
activities and allocated only less than 10% of their time for
immunization. This lack of healthcare workers is also a major
contributor to low immunization and a lack of accurate information.
The rural populations and nomadic pastoralists face a number of
challenges anticipated to have negative impacts on child health.
Pastoral communities in Tanzania are very hard to reach and
Superstitions play a large part in parents hesitating to immunize their
children. They place a high value on the wellbeing of their livestock,
home birth, and traditional medicine. Thus the necessity to seek
preventive and curative health care for their children and to vaccinate
them is not always seen as a priority. The mothers from nomadic
pastoralists also had lesser knowledge of the importance of vaccination.
We are restructuring complex immunization info into timely task-based lists can simplify and increase vaccination rate to newborn while reduce disease load throughout the immunization journey.
This project is designed to provide free content to caregivers,pregnancy mothers,new mothers and that target expectant parents in the nomadic pastoralist in Tanzania, specifically under-resourced end-users. Recognizing that vaccination of newborn is a significant bridge to newborn health and navigating disease risk in a complex/ fractured healthcare system, this idea takes a user-centered approach to provide immunization information delivery to structure info 1) as tasks, 2) progressively disclosed as needed, and 3) in a single, accessible, location by using front line health workers,social media platform and open source platforms
If you sensitize mothers about the immunization journey, you empower all
caregivers to actively seek vaccination services for their children in
the community", said mother from pastoralist community”. Our project has
evolved to include the grandmothers who are traditionally involved in
overseen pregnancy mothers, and new mothers to ensure infants are fully
immunized. Many Infants in pastoralist villages are not fully immunized
or are immunized too late, leading to an unacceptably high under-five
mortality rate. This is due to high home birth rate and mothers do not
understand how critical immunizations are. This project is designed to provide free content to caregivers,pregnancy mothers,new mothers and that target expectant parents in the nomadic pastoralist in Tanzania, specifically under-resourced end-users. Recognizing that vaccination of newborn is a significant bridge to newborn health and navigating disease risk in a complex/ fractured healthcare system, this idea takes a user-centered approach to provide immunization information delivery to structure info 1) as tasks, 2) progressively disclosed as needed, and 3) in a single, accessible, location by using front line health workers,social media platform and open source platforms.This vaccination sensitization will help to ensure all
children complete full package on time
- Decrease the risk of disease between mothers and newborns
Our project relate to challenge because we aim to decrease disease among newborn through increase vaccination rates. We provide free content to caregivers,pregnancy mothers,new mothers and that target expectant parents in the nomadic pastoralist in Tanzania, under-resourced end-users. Recognizing that vaccination of newborn is a significant bridge to newborn health and navigating disease risk in complex/ fractured healthcare system, this idea takes a user-centered approach to provide immunization information delivery to structure info 1) as tasks, 2) progressively disclosed as needed, and 3) in a single, accessible, location by using front line health workers,social media platform and open source platforms

This project would take already-existing informational resources about immunization services from the prenatal-through-postnatal journey sourced from ( world health organization, Ministry of health in Tanzania ) and re-write and re-organize them into timely, task-based lists.
Content development and editing: Advice from health ed., community
advocates, medical/nursing professionals, and instructional design
experts concerning what Task topics to develop and how best to edit the
writing for under-resourced audiences, especially those with critical
needs.
We are working on a "quick start" guide to help under-resourced new and
expecting parents in the nomadic pastoralist in Arusha Tanzania. These tightly-edited To-Do Lists will be
developed in collaboration with health/community advocacy organizations
and support their efforts to deliver clear, concise, *actionable*
immunization education to their local community.
Many health/community advocacy organizations that work with under-served
populations find they have to tailor their immunization awarness education
materials to suit their clients' marginalized needs, yet these wonderful
organizations are often working in silos, duplicating their research
and writing efforts. I’d like to support them in content development by
setting up an Open Education Resource,social mediantworks where content is specifically developed with the "overwhelmed, under-resourced" mom in mind.

We are inspired because for many, the transition from pregnancy through to parenthood is like a being given a complicated new appliance with no clear instructions, or embarking on a journey to a new land without an appropriate guidebook.
Of course, it helps to have information about what the future holds, and much of that is already freely available via various media and languages scattered across the Internet. But, for parents, the path of nurturing a healthy baby through pregnancy and birth requires not only information, but support in turning that information into particular actions and new habits -- relating to immunization, insurance, medical appointments, personal health, employment, etc. -- at specific and repeated times throughout the journey. Research has shown that, for the under-resourced in particular -- and this may include anyone lacking time, social support or mental/physical wellness in addition to those lacking financial resource -- the stress of thinking about and dealing with scarcity leaves very little mental space to learn new information or put it into practice.
