A strong, effective and well-funded vaccination system helps protect children against childhood diseases and ensures that health systems are as prepared as possible for potential health crises. 

In 2022, the Government of Japan committed US$2.1 million (R32.7 million) to strengthen vaccine cold chain systems and to build capacity in promoting and rolling out vaccinations in various regions of South Africa, including in the Eastern Cape. 

This short film depicts a visit by the Ambassador of Japan, HE Norio Maruyama to Gqeberha where he witnessed the positive impact of this support.
