of Routine Immunization<br />
For the past 20 years, routine immunization<br />
coverage has shown remarkable improvement<br />
in the Middle East and North Africa<br />
(MENA). However, due to humanitarian crises,<br />
poverty and other prevailing situations,<br />
some countries have seen a decline in immunization<br />
coverage. GHD/EMPHNET continues<br />

increase demand as a contribution towards<br />
closing such gaps.<br />
