Strengthening Public Health Supply Chains

The “Strengthening Public Health Supply Chains” webinar, organized by ADPA and VillageReach on March 20, 2025, brought together industry experts to discuss the integration of private distributors into Africa’s pharmaceutical supply chain.

Discussions highlighted the need to strengthen public-private partnerships to improve access to medicines and enhance the resilience of healthcare systems.

Key Recommendations:

  • Further integrate private distributors to improve medicine availability.
  • Develop the local industry to reduce reliance on imports.
  • Establish regulatory agencies to ensure market quality and transparency.
  • Encourage comparative studies to identify best practices and optimize distribution models.

A step forward toward a more efficient and sustainable supply chain in Africa.
