Mobile phones and digital technology to boost vaccine delivery in Uganda

The project will increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of vaccine delivery through a transport solution model specifically designed by UPS and FIT. With real-time data and analytics, it will also improve the visibility of supply chain performance: for the first time Uganda’s National Medical Store (NMS) will receive an overview of the entire supply chain in the three districts. This will allow for more accurate vaccine stock records, forecasting and planning. In addition to providing the latest technology and tools available, UPS and FIT will also bring innovative supply chain solutions to Uganda and build real capacity. For instance, teams on the ground will teach health clinic workers how to manage vaccine stocks, use the apps to understand consumption data and then use that information to order vaccines. The teams at the national and district vaccine stores will now have visibility on the stocks in each clinic so can plan their supplies more efficiently and effectivel
