In this first episode of VillageReach’s new 4-episode limited-series podcast, ‘Products to People: An Integrated Public Health Supply Chain, host Tiwonge Mkandawire welcomes Kelly Hamblin to talk about supply chain integration - what it is, and why it’s so important for building high-performing public health supply chains that are more equitable, people-centered, resilient, and sustainable.
As a Senior Program Officer for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Kelly highlights the importance of supply chains mirroring the way health workers provide services – because their day to day work is already integrated. Additionally, Kelly emphasizes the critical role of government in leading supply chain integration and the importance of partners listening to government voices.
Listen to the episode as Tiwonge and Kelly discuss how we can all be more purposeful in designing programs for integrated health systems in order to get products to people when and where they need them.
