About the Program:
Since 2008, Women’s Wealth to Health (WHW), as an Americares Access to Medicine program partner, has imported and distributed Americares donated medicines and medical commodities to over 200 health facilities, including the Ghana Health Service/Ministry of Health (GHS/MOH).
In 2021, Americares extended the partnership with WHW over the next three years to support WHW’s efforts in a range of programmatic activities, including Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH), Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) and Supply Chain Strengthening.
Scaling up the importation and distribution of donated medicines and medical supplies, and procurement of high-need, low-availability health products to support the expansion of health programs as part of this project is critical and will require supply chain strengthening interventions including the implementation of Supply Chain Management (SCM) software. Americares and WHW have agreed on the need for this software to standardize and streamline the supply chain management processes and achieve higher inventory control.
