Nila Kadogo, a mother of twins, dangles one of her babies gently and with a sigh of relief as her younger sister plays with her other child while seated at the maternal unit of Nyalenda dispensary in Kisumu.

A few meters from where they sit, a nurse is going through the clinic book of another child brought to the facility earlier to get a dose of the lifesaving Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine.
