GSMA Vaccibox Project

Turkana County, Kenya

The Challenge

In Turkana County, unreliable electricity and long distances make vaccine storage and delivery difficult. These challenges often cause temperature fluctuations, vaccine wastage, and reduced coverage---leaving remote communities vulnerable.

Our Approach

The GSMA Vaccibox Project, led by Hecta Consulting and Drop Access, is transforming vaccine delivery through a solar-powered refrigeration system equipped with Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology for real-time temperature monitoring.
This innovation ensures vaccines remain safe and effective throughout the supply chain.
Hecta is conducting baseline and endline studies to measure improvements in cold chain efficiency, vaccine coverage, and service delivery outcomes.
Findings will inform policy, strengthen supply chains and create a scalable model for reaching underserved populations.

Progress & Impact

By safeguarding vaccines and improving cold chain systems, the project is protecting lives, boosting immunization coverage and advancing progress toward universal immunization access.
