Expanded Programme on Immunization

In Ghana, the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) was first implemented in 1978 and has been a significant part of primary health care. Since then, the EPI has made incredible strides, including an increase in immunization coverage rates among the population, especially infants and women, that has significantly decreased morbidity and mortality from diseases that are preventable by vaccination.

It has negative impacts on productivity, healthcare and labour costs and fuels stigma and discrimination against workers who are living with or affected by HIV and AIDS.

Equity is at the heart of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and a cross-cutting issue across all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which carry a central promise to “leave no one behind”
