Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

GAVI, known as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is a global health partnership that combines efforts from both public and private sectors. Its main aim is to improve access to vaccines in low-income countries. In 2016, Gavi was responsible for over half of the total funding provided by donors for health initiatives, and it played a significant role in funding immunization efforts.

Islamabad’s F-7 sector is affluent: large residential bungalows line the streets, and commercial centres cater to well-to-do shoppers.
