Global Health Supply Chain.

Global Health Supply Chain Technical Assistance (GHSC-TA) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of health supply chains worldwide.

This assistance is crucial for ensuring that essential health commodities are available where and when they are needed.

  • GHSC-TA supports countries in developing and implementing strategic plans for their health supply chains.

    This includes conducting assessments to identify gaps and opportunities, and creating tailored strategies to address specific needs.

  • We focus on strengthening the skills and partnering with local health workers and Supply Chain Managers. This is achieved through collaborative training programmes, ensuring that local teams and Unimed are aligned to manage supply chains effectively.

  • Advanced logistics management information systems (LMIS) are implemented to enhance data collection and visibility. This allows for real-time tracking of health commodities, improving inventory management and reducing stockouts.

  • GHSC-TA ensures that health products meet international quality standards, those that Unimed adheres to before engaging in any project. This involves rigorous testing and monitoring processes to maintain the safety and efficacy of health commodities.

Tailored to you.

Each project we undertake is bespoke, designed and implemented from the ground up by Unimed’s Head of Health Supply Chain.

Integrated services.

Procurement.

In addition to designing GHSC plans, Unimed has the capacity to implement the procurement phase of these programmes, underpinned by our network of over 250 quality assured manufacturers and suppliers.

Logistics.

Ensuring the accurate and secure delivery of all healthcare commodities is of paramount importance.

Unimed has a diversified network of freight forwarders and logistics organisations that are integrated into the planning and implementation of all GHSC operations.

  • We facilitate collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and private sector partners. This collaborative approach helps align efforts and resources towards common supply chain goals.

  • GHSC-TA promotes sustainable supply chain practices by integrating health financing and governance components. This ensures long-term improvements and accountability in supply chain operations.

    Unimed embeds sustainable practices across technical assistance, procurement, and all elements of the supply chain.

  • Technical Assistance projects share the same DNA with how Unimed approaches all projects, tailored to the needs of individual countries.

    This may include technical assistance to strengthen supply chain systems for priority public health programmes such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, family planning, and maternal, newborn, and child health.
