Achieving universal health coverage is a UK priority and an overarching goal for DFID\u2019s contribution to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The UK\u2019s £1.44 billion of support to Gavi between 2016-2020 has saved 1.4 million lives from vaccine-preventable diseases in 68 of the world\u2019s poorest countries.<\/p>
The UK is proud to be hosting the Gavi Replenishment Conference on 3-4th<\/sup> June, to secure Gavi the funds it needs to immunise 300 million more children and save at least 7 million lives between 2021 and 2025. The UK\u2019s commitment to Gavi is central to our work to end preventable deaths of mothers, new-borns and children by 2030.<\/p> In its next strategic period, Gavi is committed to reaching every child with essential vaccines, to improve intra-country equity and coverage. Immunisation is often a child\u2019s first point of contact with their health service. By extending routine immunisation to reach the underserved, particularly zero-dose children who have never been vaccinated, Gavi is building a foundation for universal health coverage.<\/p>"}
