Ensuring smooth access to health commodities by bolstering supply chain systems

Strong supply chains ensure high-quality services are always available in adequate quantities and forms at the appropriate time. JSIPL has consistently factored in this aspect as it strives to design, manage and monitor the supply chain for increased access to high-quality health services that constantly adapt to client needs. A 360-degree view is adopted while building, scaling-up, and managing robust and resilient health supply chains by providing technical assistance and training to government agencies and health care organizations.
