The landscape analysis of immunisation information system efficiency was conducted to better understand the work underway by all global stakeholders in this area. In order to meet global public health goals, including the Millennium Development Goals for improving maternal health; reducing child mortality; and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, efficient public health supply chains are key, thus so is the role of the person tasked with managing this supply chain, the supply chain manager or logistician.
This landscape analysis defines goals, identifies gaps that need to be addressed to achieve them, and serves as a call to action—engaging key stakeholders to increase both the supply and demand for professional public health supply chain managers and logisticians.
