The 14-Day Rule: How One App Flags Unvaccinated Children in Nigeria | CHT Community Story

In northern Nigeria, millions of children have never received a single vaccine. Until recently, no one knew exactly who they were, where they lived, or why they weren't accessing care. In this presentation from Datharm Founder and CEO Amina Ahmad and developer Femi Oni walk through how they built MCH Track, a community health platform built on the CHT (Community Health Toolkit) framework, to digitise, automate, and scale the tracking of zero-dose and under-immunised children in Kano State, Nigeria. In this video you'll learn: Why traditional paper-based community registers were failing Nigeria's immunisation system How female community mobilisers are replacing manual village head registers with a geo-tagged mobile app How automatic reconciliation between community data and health facility data eliminated hours of monthly paperwork How the system flags zero-dose children within 14 days of a missed appointment and sends alerts to field workers What the real barriers to vaccination are, from "no felt need" to absent vaccines and uncooperative family members How a real-time dashboard at local government, state, and national level gives decision-makers the data they need to plan outreach The technical challenges of building at scale on CHT and how Datharm solved them 🔔 Subscribe for more community health technology case studies and global health innovation content. #ZeroDoseChildren #RoutineImmunisation #nigeriahealth #childhealth #VaccineEquity #globalhealth #digitalhealth #CommunityHealth #publichealth #healthtechnology #healthtech #cht #communityhealthtoolkit #MCHTrack #Datharm #NigeriaImmunisation #ZeroDose #UnderImmunised #northernnigeria #KanoState #mobilehealth #HealthDataAfrica #CommunityMobilisation #MaternalChildHealth #HealthInformationSystems #VaccineAccess #healthequity #africahealth #DigitalHealthAfrica #GlobalHealthInnovation #ImmunisationCoverage
