US deploying health experts here on supply chain management, COVID data

Through USAID, the United States is partnering with Guyana’s Ministry of Health on supply chain management and COVID-19 data.

 USAID’s Country Health Information Systems and Data Use (CHISU) Program is providing two global public health technical consultants to Guyana’s Ministry of Health for a one-year period. A statement yesterday from the US Embassy said that these advisors will be focusing on two key areas – addressing COVID-19 data management issues and enhancing the public health supply chain management system.   

 Emeka Ogbolu, a  public health supply chain expert, is collaborating with the Ministry’s Materials Management Unit to bolster the efficiency and effectiveness of the public health supply chain management system.  Ogbolu is coordinating with the Unit’s Director in strengthening the operations and logistics of the central and regional warehouses.
