On any day, the Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA) in Ethiopia
manages the thousands of transactions (orders, receipts, issues, and
transfers) which are the lifeblood of the public sector healthcare supply
chain. To inform the supply decisions that drive these transactions—and to
ensure that the right quantities of the right commodities are going to the
right locations—the PFSA uses the Health Commodity Management Information
system (HCMIS), a warehouse and logistics information management system
developed by the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT.
Launching the Information Revolution in the Ethiopian Public-Sector
Healthcare Supply Chain is a new logistics brief that details use of the
HCMIS in Ethiopia and the benefits of having real-time transactional data
across the PFSA network. With this systematic recordkeeping tool placing
data literally at their fingertips, PFSA employees across Ethiopia are
revolutionizing the supply chains they manage by using real-time data to
make smarter, faster decisions and building an increasingly agile supply
chain.
