Frequently, lifesaving vaccines and medical technologies never reach last mile communities because rural health systems lack the necessary infrastructure and resources.
VillageReach uses basic logistics and supply chain management practices to support last mile health systems. VillageReach’s Management Information System tracks medicines, supplies and equipment and generates accurate, real-time data about the health centers and the communities they serve. VillageReach’s was model was implemented in over 260 clinics in northern Mozambique, serving 5 million people and resulting in an increase in the vaccination coverage rate from 68.9% to 95.4%.
