2022 Prize Competition Winner & Finalists

About the Competition

Challenges in managing supply chains to deliver health outcomes in global health contexts abound, particularly when factors beyond the control of supply chain managers such as infrastructure, port clearance delays, weather, governance issues, location of clinics, human resource capabilities, etc. all impact success. Despite such challenges, we see stories of remarkable success in improving health delivery and outcomes that leverage partnerships between organizations, and in cooperation with governments, NGOs and donors, deploying innovative and appropriate technology and human resource practices. Each year, we seek to recognize such organizations by celebrating & sharing practices that have delivered documented success.

Up to four projects typically are invited to present their work at the Summit. The organization with a winning submission is recognized with a monetary prize. The review panel is comprised of experts with experience in global health contexts but are not involved in any of the projects themselves. 

This year’s judges were:

2022 Grand Prize Winner

Improving health delivery outcomes in Uganda through continuity of essential health services (CEHS) with focus on immunization

This case talk showed how developing supply chain resilience is now more important than ever; ensuring complete reviews of your supply chain performance, how it functions and creating appropriate supply chain strategies that support resilience to sustain continuity of health services is a real priority. In the Ugandan context, if we are to contribute to the country’s achieving IA2030, then, ensuring availability of the required supplies is a must so that no one misses access to required essential immunization services due to unavailability of required supplies or due to logistical challenges.
