“Because vaccines save lives”: UNICEF supports cold-chain management in the Western Cape
Channel: UNICEF South Africa
Date: 2022-10-06

The cold chain is a logistics management process for products that require specifically refrigerated temperatures – especially for life-saving vaccines. 

Lizette Monteith was appointed by UNICEF in March 2021 to work with the Western Cape Department of Health on effective vaccine management activities for all immunizations including the COVID -19 vaccination roll out. 

Over the course of several months, Lizette has been travelling to health facilities across the Western Cape where she works with practitioners to ensure that the cold chain system is working as effectively as possible.
