Now,the nonprofit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines is trying to expand production and lower the cost.GALVmed spokesman Hameed Nuru says mobile phones have helped lower some barriers to distribution.
HAMEED NURU:“Now,with the advent of cellular technology,most of the people we do reach,such as the Maasai pastoralists,they all have cell phones.And they now call the delivery agent who can now come and meet them at a particular place and do the vaccination for them.”
The vaccine is not cheap.But Hameed Nuru says the herders get together to sell a bull and use the money to vaccinate all their animals.They understand that they are getting value for their money:A cow is worth nearly twice as much if it is vaccinated.
A goal is to have local people develop businesses supplying the vaccine.
HAMEED NURU:“People are now seeing that they can actually make a business from supplying this vaccine and getting out to the very rural areas where there is a market for this.”
The efforts are supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the British government.
