Course Description
SUPPLY CHAIN EDUCATION: CURRENT STATUS
Several thousands of health workers join the public health system in Low-and Middle-Income countries every year. Out of those, many get roped into public health supply chain without any context specific technical training. There are several organisations who find it difficult to develop competencies in health cadres to achieve supply chain efficiency in the workplace. There are several training courses on health supply chain available in the market today which are offered in classroom settings or online. However, most of those courses do not consider the contextual learning needs of the candidate or provide them with real-world competencies.
NEED FOR EQUITABLE SUPPLY CHAIN EDUCATION
Currently, there is a push for health professionals to learn supply chain concepts through internationally accredited organisations like APICS, CIPS, CILT etc. These courses are technically sound and provide best practices in supply chain, but several times, they don’t support health workers in understanding how can they apply the commercial sector concepts in public sector. Sometimes, health professionals are not equipped to handle those intensive courses.
There is also a question of finance. Most professionally accredited courses or other health supply chain courses are beyond the financial reach of most candidates in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. A few who are able to participate, do that with high financial burden, or funded by their organisations. Hence, there remains a demand for a course which competes with the professionally accredited courses on quality of content and is offered in an affordable manner in making it accessible to everyone.

good for supply chain beginnersVery informative course, I had learn a lot and forced to search to know more about supply chain in my country Sudan. however, I think if the live sessions scheduled after all learners studies week's materials it will be more beneficial. also if you talk in depth about medical devices.

Improved knowledge about health supply chainThis course was what I really needed at this point in my career as I plan to migrate into medical logistics. I have learned a lot about the structure of the supply chain for health, its challenges, and its importance to ensure effective public health delivery. This course also gave me the opportunity to research and learn more about my country's drug management system.

Improved LearningI expected to know more about supply chain system and this program achieved that for me. It also encouraged me to improve my understanding of my country's supply chain activities which was key for me. I really liked the information around quantification exercises and the responsible actors. My interest is heightened and I would certainly seek more knowledge in the next program.
