Community Health Workers (CHWs) need consistent access to quality health products to effectively serve their communities and get supplies and services beyond the health facility. VillageReach’s Supply Chain for CHWs (SC4CHWs) solution offers technical assistance to governments and communities to strengthen community supply chains. This technical note details the #SC4CHWs implementation in Liberia and provides critical lessons for stakeholders: https://bit.ly/3yGTeJq Building strong community health supply chains is an important component of responsive PHC! #proCHWs #CHW #Community #Healthcare #PHC #UHC #SDGs

Advocating for more integration of private pharmaceutical distributors to deliver health products to public health facilities 🏥 🚚 We presented at APDA - African Pharmaceutical Distribution Association's third Thematic General Assembly on the results of our benchmarking study on the integration of private distributors into public supply chains across Africa. We will continue to advocate for a stronger distribution industry and local African production industries. Great job Martin MAHOMBISA, PharmD. and Doris Mukwanga! #supplychain #privatesector #ppp #outsourcing #efficiency #healthcare

We're pleased to partner with DAI, US Pharmacopeia and Pamela Steele Associates as part of the 5-year USAID Kenya Integrated Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain Technical Assistance (KIPS) Activity. KIPS works to ensure sustainable access to quality health products and supplies in Kenya by developing a resilient supply chain system and professionalizing the health workforce, including opportunities to advance the role of women in logistics. Ministry of Health, Kenya has taken critical steps to improve the country’s supply chain but challenges with personnel development, technological advancement and commodity storage conditions remain. This project can be the change! Congratulations to all who contributed to this win. We have hit the ground running towards developing responsive supply chains that get health products to people where and when needed.

African populations are severely under-represented in data sets used to inform data science models for health applications, resulting in a disconnect between community needs and health system services. Thank you to Pfizer for highlighting this work and your contribution to bridging these gaps, making it easier to routinely collect, analyze and synthesize community feedback in order to drive better health outcomes!
