A Sustainable Strategy for Training Nurses and Pharmacists in Health Logistics in Ghana

In Ghana, the country’s more than 23,000 nurses and pharmacists work on the frontline of the health supply chain. They are the final link in the chain of workers, who make sure that medicines and other health supplies are available for patients and clients who need them. As such, their logistics skills are vital for keeping the shelves stocked with lifesaving health commodities.

Health workers and logisticians have historically received most of their logistics training after they enter the workforce through what is known as in-service training (IST). However, because IST is costly and often must be repeated as workers change jobs, new and more sustainable ways of training the logistics workforce are needed.
