Preparing for and responding to Covid-19’s ‘second hit’
While already sobering, Covid-19 mortality projections only account for a portion of morbidity and mortality we should expect from the current outbreak – patients directly affected by Covid-19. Largely missing from current discussions is the indirect impact on a much broader set of patients affected the epidemic – patients who will experience greater morbidity and mortality from a wide range of clinical conditions due to disruptions in the provision of health care and other essential services – what we are describing here as the ‘second hit’ of Covid-19.| Download paper
Last Mile Supply Chain - Mozambique
Starting in 2018, the LMSC (Last Mile Supply Chain) program in Mozambique has integrated private sector transporters into the public health system to deliver medicines, including vaccines, to health facilities in Zambezia, Tete, Nampula, Sofala and Inhambane provinces. This program, funded by USAID, is in support of a national strategy (PELF) that promotes the use of private sector 4PLs and 3PLs to enable higher health commodity availability. Monthly deliveries are now being made to over 50% of the country’s health facilities. Two 4PLs (Bolloré and Agility) are training and managing networks of local transporters in this new system which is being progressively transitioned to government management. | Improving Health Care for Communities at the Last Mile | A partnership about the Last Mile | Overcoming Delivery Challenges to the Last Mile
