Azerbaijan National Immunization Program: Asian Vaccination Initiative: Financing Assessment
Hafiz, Dr. Rehan Abdul | June 2002
Abstract
This assessment of the immunization services in the Republic of Azerbaijan was made as part of the Asian Vaccination Initiative (AVI), an independent initiative of the Asian Development Bank. The assessment sought to address the following issues: • Outline the financial status and financing gaps of the national immunization program. • Identify sustainable financial options for strengthening the program, particularly the cold chain, surveillance, and injection safety. • Identify future funding requirements for a routine or expanded program. • Identify potential areas for new investment in the program, such as the introduction of new vaccines or the implementation of disease control initiatives. • Identify funding sources, expected as well as potential. • Where possible, analyze the cost-effectiveness of current or planned immunization activities. A coherent analysis of financial requirements, available resources, and financing gaps is an important aspect of medium-term planning.
