Seizing the Moment: Providing Faster Access to Quality Medical Products during COVID-19 and beyond

Seizing the Moment: Providing Faster Access to Quality Medical Products during COVID-19 and beyond

The COVID-19 pandemic is testing health systems worldwide. How can countries respond to disruptions, maintain essential services, and prevent future pandemics while optimizing sustainable local resources?

As they try to contain the novel coronavirus, low-and middle-income countries must also grapple to provide new and repurposed treatments, diagnostics, personal protective equipment, and someday, a vaccine. At the same time, they are fighting to sustain hard-won gains against old foes like tuberculosis and malaria. The need for strong pharmaceutical systems and supply chains has never been so clear, nor so urgent.

MSH, in partnership with Deloitte, hosted  a virtual conversation on novel approaches emerging from the COVID-19 response that can be effectively leveraged to respond to the pandemic while accelerating progress toward universal health coverage. Join our panel of experts in health supply chain management, pharmaceutical services, and health technologies as they discuss how pharmaceutical systems strengthening plays a pivotal role in this effort.
