The Global Health Supply Chain Summit (GHSCS) uniquely focuses on global health supply chains, covering all components (including human resources) and contextual factors affecting their performance. It stands out by presenting a structured, holistic and multi-stakeholder approach to addressing challenges of designing and managing end-to-end global health supply chain challenges in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
Between Nov 12-15, 2024, GHSCS held its 17th annual event (GHSCS2024) in Lagos with the key theme of VALUE CHAIN INNOVATIONS FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE. Discussions covered innovations across the end-to-end value chain from regional manufacturing to service delivery beyond the clinic into the communities, innovations in financing the supply chain, and issues around the nexus of climate change, health and supply chains. GHSCS2024 explored these issues in depth through a combination of curated plenary talks & panels as well as contributed panel discussions, talks, and posters. The Lagos summit drew over 400 attendees representing various stakeholders from donors, international agencies, implementing partners, ministries of health, public and private sector players, academia and NGOs. Over 70% of attendees came from the African continent. GHSCS2024 Lagos summit was hosted in partnership with ARC_ESM, Nigeria. Please see the accompanying press release for more information!
