EAC RCE VIHSCM

The (EAC) Regional Centre Of Excellence For Vaccines, Immunisation And Health Supply Chain Management

A central and vital part of health systems is an efficient supply chain for the provision of health medical commodities like vaccines, diagnostics, medications, family planning commodities and medical equipment.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, there is an acute lack of well-trained cadres in health supply chain management (HSCM) at regional and national levels of health systems as well as at decentralized levels.
