Mobile health caravans rally the Western Balkans to COVID-19 vaccination, bringing health advice closer to where people are

Over the course of 2022–2023, 4 mobile health caravans have been touring remote and under-served locations in the Western Balkans to make sure vulnerable people have access to COVID-19 vaccination and the public health advice they need to protect themselves. To bring vaccination, health care and health recommendations to the heart of communities, with the support of WHO and partners, national and equivalent public health authorities have organized health caravans in Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo[1]. In addition to increasing access to various health services, the health caravans provide an opportunity for risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). When they visit, 2-way dialogue between health care providers and community members means that caravan staff can answer questions and better understand the needs of communities and their barriers to accessing health care.
