🎓 Today, we proudly celebrate the graduation of 16 fellows of the 2nd cohort of the Growing Expertise in E-Health Knowledge and Skills (#GEEKS) Fellowship—a milestone in advancing digital health and immunization equity in Uganda. This dynamic group of fellows made remarkable strides, including the identification of over 91% of 251 zero-dose children through innovative data triangulation methods in Kakumiro district. They championed the adoption of WHO SMART guidelines, driving a digital transformation in healthcare planning and delivery. Setting the stage for long-term impact. #Data4Health #Immunization #DigitalHealthUG
