Strong Supply Chains Save Lives

We are pleased to share the second issue of Strong Supply Chains Save Lives, a semi-annual newsletter featuring the latest projects and ideas from JSI's Center for Health Logistics.  

This issue focuses on adapting private sector innovations for public health and how we help clients scale and sustain those innovations. We share a cutting-edge analysis on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for health and lessons on how to implement visibility and analytics network (VAN) approaches. Also included is a story from Indonesia, where the government has decided to pay for and scale successful supply chain innovations.

We hope you enjoy this issue of the newsletter. 

Sincerely,

Edward Wilson
