Orange has partnered with Gavi to harness digital technologies and connectivity solutions to strengthen immunisation systems and expand access to essential health services across Africa. In Côte d’Ivoire, Gavi, the Ministry of Health and Orange launched M‑Vaccin in 2018, a digital platform designed to improve child vaccination tracking, caregiver engagement and immunisation data management.
Originally developed as a vaccination reminder tool, M‑Vaccin has evolved into a broader digital health platform supporting immunisation service delivery, identification of zero-dose children, caregiver awareness and disease surveillance. By end 2025, the platform had expanded to 82 health districts, registered more than 120,000 women and 87,000 children, and supported the identification and catch-up vaccination of more than 36,800 zero-dose children, while continuing to deliver targeted SMS and voice messages to caregivers and communities.
Building on the success of M‑Vaccin, Gavi and Orange are exploring opportunities to leverage advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to strengthen caregiver engagement, improve immunisation coverage, and further enhance the identification and follow-up of children at risk of missing vaccinations.
Beyond Côte d’Ivoire, Orange has partnered with Gavi to address critical infrastructure barriers affecting immunisation delivery. In Sierra Leone, a collaboration between Gavi, Orange, Power Africa and RESOLVE has equipped 26 rural health facilities with solar power, battery storage and internet connectivity, improving the reliability of health services in under-served communities and helping catalyse the launch of the Health Electrification and Telecommunications Alliance (HETA).
