We work to improve the availability of health commodities worldwide, including innovative programs and products on a sustainable basis. By negotiating with suppliers and working with country governments, we build cost-efficient, sustainable systems that reach more people and save more lives.
We use the following strategies to support comprehensive supply chain activities in countries across the globe to achieve health priorities set by the U.S. government, including those for HIV and AIDS, malaria, newborn and child health, maternal health and family planning, and emerging concerns like Ebola and Zika.
We strategically source and manage quality-assured health commodities like essential medicines and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets. Our technical experts guide and strengthen supply-chain processes from procurement to storage to delivery in real time.
From logistics planning to strategic policy change to workforce development, we partner with various country stakeholders to build capacity in countries like Burma, Ethiopia, Guyana, and Zambia, enabling participants to improve and expand health supply chains for themselves.
We help raise awareness and engage with impactful and relevant global partners to better coordinate resources and collaborate on supply chain solutions. We also leverage technology and data systems so country leaders and other partners have the information they need to make strategic decisions and facilitate action.
The umbrella USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program (GHSC) brings a new approach to achieving the agency's global health priorities aiming to reach millions more people through increased efficiencies and cost savings.
