18th Global Health Supply Chain Summit

November 18-20, 2025 Kigali RWANDA

COMPETITION THEME:

Global Healthcare Supply Chain Excellence in Low and Lower-Middle Income Countries [1]

Challenges in managing supply chains to deliver health outcomes in global health contexts abound. Factors beyond the control of supply chain managers quality of hard and soft infrastructure, man-made and natural disruptions, governance issues, fragmentation & dispersion, access to finance, human resource capabilities, etc. all impact success. Delivering better health outcomes requires addressing both supply chain bottlenecks as well as addressing patients’ barriers to access. Despite such challenges, we see stories of remarkable success in improving health delivery and outcomes that leverage partnerships between organizations, and in cooperation with governments, NGOs and donors, deploying innovative and appropriate technology and human resource practices. We seek to recognize such organizations by celebrating & sharing practices that have delivered documented success.

2025 GHSC SUMMIT THEME: Powering Self-Reliance: Value Chains that Deliver, Sustain, and Thrive. Submissions aligned with the GHSCS2025 theme are strongly encouraged.

[1] The eligible Low and Lower-Middle Income countries are listed in the World Bank website.
