Reaching Every District (RED) approach: a way to improve immunization performance

In their paper, Victora et al. show

that “child survival interventions are

inequitably distributed within low- and

middle-income countries”. Areas of

greatest need were not prioritized, and

expansion of these health programmes

in more difficult areas has tended to be

delayed or postponed. In response, we

wish to share some results and propose

a way forward based upon experiences

with immunization programmes.
