The Global Health Supply Chain Summit takes place from 30 November to 02 December 2022 at CICAD DIAMNIADIO in Senegal. The Summit is expecting more than 300 participants. The theme of the Summit this year is “Rethinking Supply Chain and Health Systems for Equity, Resilience and Country Ownership”.

With health, security and humanitarian crises taking place across the continent, there is a need to develop resilient health systems and the supply chains that support them, leveraging partnerships, innovations, sustainable financing, skilled human resources and appropriate governance models to ensure equitable access to health care for all.
