---------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION TO PROCUREMENT & SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT - Free online
certificate course by UNDP
The introduction to Procurement and Supply Chain Management course is an
introductory level course jointly developed by UNDP and Empower School of
Health.
Effective supply chains not only help ensure commodity security, they also
help determine the success or failure of any public health program.
Typically, substantial amount of grant funding goes for health commodities;
efficient PSM is paramount to addressing the long held goals of universal
access to healthcare through the provision of reliably available, quality
assured medicines. The global stakeholders in public health should be able
to effectively manage the PSM systems for the health commodities.
A well trained PSM workforce is needed not only at national level, but also
at state and district level. This online course provides a platform for
beginners to understand the basics by laying the foundation for Procurement
and Supply Chain Management. The course focuses on PSM in general, and PSM
issues related to public health programs for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and
malaria programme funded by The Global Fund in particular.
The aim of the course is to describe the importance of PSM in ensuring the
uninterrupted supply of life-saving medicines and other health products.
