Innovative cold-chain technologies and tools help healthcare professionals worldwide manage this essential yet challenging process.

The MSH-led SAFEMed Activity collaborates with the MPU to support its efforts in modernizing supply chain operations—from developing improved #datamanagement systems to assisting warehouse staff in organizing, storing, and moving commodities more efficiently.

Over the last two decades, the Government of Rwanda has made remarkable strides toward #universalhealthcoverage (#UHC). The MSH-led USAID Ireme project is partnering with the Ministry of Health to strengthen the program and ensure its #sustainability over the long term. “USAID Ireme is working closely with the Rwanda Ministry of Health to increase health insurance enrollment, improve the sustainability of key health insurance pools, increase efficiency in the use of pooled funds, and regularly review the health benefits package in response to the changing burden of ill-health," explains Dr. Okore Okorafor, Principal Technical Advisor with USAID Ireme.
