Health Ministry affirms 1,700+ refrigerators sustain vaccine cold chain
The Ministry of Health in Libya, in collaboration with UNICEF, announced the implementation of a plan from 2023 to 2026 to support the vaccine cold chain and reduce the impact of power outages on it. The plan includes installing 218 solar-powered refrigerators at vaccination sites, supporting 44 healthcare facilities with solar energy technologies, and supplying the National Immunization Program with more than 1,500 refrigerators dedicated to maintaining vaccines within temperatures of +2 to +8 degrees Celsius. The measures aim to ensure sustainable refrigeration during power outages through backup energy sources and generators in various regions, to guarantee the quality and effectiveness of vaccines and reduce the risk of their spoilage.
