What we have achieved
Assessment of vaccine management effectiveness
An external mission reviewed the situation and found an overall effectiveness of 83% for all levels of the supply chain, which demonstrates significant improvement compared with the previous assessment conducted in 2014. Except for vaccine arrival (E1 ), maintenance (E5), and general vaccine management (E9), which were a bit below expectation, other criteria were satisfactory. In general, the vaccine supply chain management system was satisfactory and met most of the assessed criteria. An improvement plan has been developed to improve the situation.
