Case Study Report: Last Mile Delivery Initiative for Health Commodities in Adama Branch
Abstract
Degefa Uma Banti
The Last Mile Delivery (LMD) initiative is a critical component of the healthcare supply chain, ensuring that essential health commodities such as vaccines, Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) drugs, TB/Malaria medications, and Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (RMNCH) supplies reach health facilities in a timely and efficient manner. The Adama Branch, serving 404 health facilities, plays a pivotal role in delivering these life-saving commodities to both urban and remote areas. However, the branch faces significant operational challenges that hinder its ability to meet distribution demands effectively.
