A caregiver arrives at the clinic ready to vaccinate her child. She waits. Then she’s told to come back another day.

VillageReach’s Late Infancy Immunization Study across Nigeria, Malawi, Pakistan and the DRC found that many children miss vaccines not because caregivers refuse them, but because health system barriers make vaccination difficult.

Families described challenges including:

• Long travel distances
• Vaccine stock uncertainty
• Missed reminders
• Costs and lost work time
• Being turned away because too few children were present to open vaccine vials

The study also identified practical solutions communities said would help: better reminders, trusted local communication, flexible delivery approaches and more reliable services.

When systems work for caregivers, more children get protected. 💙

What if every health question, symptom report or community concern could help stop the next outbreak before it spreads?

VillageReach is working with Mozambique’s Ministry of Health and Qure.ai to integrate Aira — an AI-powered health care co-pilot — into trusted national systems like the AlôVida telehealth platform.

By transforming real-time community voices into earlier warnings and faster public health action, this work aims to strengthen outbreak detection and build more responsive, community-centered health systems.

Across global health, AI is already showing potential to improve disease detection and clinical decision-making. But technology alone is not enough. Real impact depends on trust, local adaptation and integration into systems communities already use and rely on.

Together with partners, Mozambique is helping shape a future where health systems can respond faster, smarter and more equitably. https://bit.ly/4u6XSIN
