Public health supply chain competency mapping in Namibia

Namibia is faced with one of the most severe health workforce shortages in the world, including a shortage of supply chain personnel to manage the key institutions of the public health supply chain, the Central Medical Store (CMS) and Regional Medical Store (RMS). As Namibia is a focus country for People that Deliver (PtD), a global initiative focused on raising awareness of human resource (HR) challenges for supply chain management (SCM), the Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) requested the Initiative’s assistance in tackling its supply chain human resource challenges.
