A strong supply chain is a prerequisite to improving immunization coverage and equity and reducing child morbidity and mortality. These systems ensure proper vaccine storage, distribution, handling, and management. Ultimately, the goal is to guarantee an uninterrupted availability of high-quality vaccines throughout the entire supply chain, from manufacturer to service delivery levels.

This course will assist countries in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of immunization delivery as an integrated part of the health system by training you on immunization supply chain management, the benefits of immunization, the strategies of how to deliver it, the various acquisition models, and an insight into the global, regional, and national perspectives on immunization.

The course on global standards for traceability of health products and technologies covers the fundamental concepts, principles, and practices of traceability as they relate to global standards. The global standards provide a global framework for the identification, serialization, and traceability of health products and technologies. Traceability is the ability to track and trace the movement of products, services, or information through the supply chain from the point of origin to the point of consumption. It is an essential tool in ensuring product safety, quality, and authenticity as well as compliance with regulatory requirements and standards.
