Strong disease surveillance systems are critical to achieving universal health coverage (UHC), given that they provide governments and public health decision-makers with the data they need to ensure that all people and communities have access to health services. This data is particularly important in the context of infectious disease outbreaks, during which government officials must act quickly and decisively to prevent the spread. Strengthened health systems, management and evaluation approaches, and improved policies can help address critical gaps in national immunization systems.
- Training and capacity building for strengthening LMIS and supply chain skills for vaccine supply chain management in Senegal, (funded by Logistimo and supported by GAVI)
Empower, in collaboration with GAVI, is supporting the immunization program of the Ministry of Health, Senegal. The program focuses on training healthcare staff in hospitals and clinics across the country on the use of new software that will help reduce wastage and improve efficiency across the supply chain.
What we did?
Deployment and Training: Trainers from central, regional and district level were trained on how to use a new software system for supply chain management and train end-users.
User support and monitoring: Once users are trained and entities are live, we started the monitoring and user support phase
