Health Supply Chain Management (HSCM)


Description

The public health system depends on a steady supply of essential medicines and other health products to meet the needs of the general population. This is often a challenge in poorer countries where the supply chain is weak.


This foundation course is intended for pharmacists and other health professionals working in the supply chain in low- and middle-income countries. They will gain a fundamental understanding of the end-to-end health supply chain, including procurement, warehousing, distribution, and more.


The material is presented through the perspective of the 6 + 1 rights model:

the right goods,

the right quantity,

the right cost,

the right quality,

the right place,

the right time,

and the right interventions.


The course uses engaging videos, quizzes, case studies, and recommended resources to present an overview of health supply chain management. You will have access to these training materials for 180 Days.
