JSI at the Global Health Supply Chain Summit

Please join JSI, IAPHL, and our affiliates (inSupply Health and PFSCM) at the Global Health Supply Chain Summit in South Africa from November 20–22, 2019 to learn how JSI helps countries make sure that medicines, vaccines, and related products reach the people who need them.

Strong supply chains are critical for saving and improving the lives of children, families, and communities. As countries strive to meet ambitious health goals, JSI is building supply chains to meet the needs of growing populations while responding to dynamic changes in emerging health trends.
