“I was very scared when Gidion became so weak and sick… but when the nurses and doctors acted so quickly, I had hope my son would have a second chance.” – Irene, Gidion’s mother 💙 When 8-month-old Gidion arrived at Vwawa District Hospital critically ill with diarrhoea and sepsis, health workers trained in Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) acted fast—giving IV fluids, antibiotics, and close monitoring. Within days, he recovered and went home healthy in his mother’s arms. 💙 Every child deserves this chance. Through the government-led EECC in Tanzania (EECCiT) initiative, supported by the Wizara ya Afya Tanzania , UNICEF Tanzania, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), and Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada via the CanGIVE initiative, more hospitals are being equipped to deliver this vital care. 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dUXnffK8

Access to clean water is a right #ForEveryChild. Together with TANZANIA RED CROSS SOCIETY and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, UNICEF has brought safe water to Katerela village in Biharamulo, once the epicentre of Marburg Virus Disease. The interventions included drilling a new borehole, installing a solar-powered pumping system, constructing a 50,000L storage tank, and extending water distribution points to a school and a healthcare facility. With these efforts, 3,734 community members, including school children, now have reliable access to clean and safe water, strengthening infection prevention and control measures against future public health outbreaks.
