Strengthening Zambia’s Health Supply Chains
Blanket Access Health Initiative (BAHI) improves access to lifesaving medicines through an innovative two-pronged model: logistics services that sustain our nonprofit programs, and health access initiatives that ensure no facility goes without essential supplies.
Our Approach
BAHI delivers practical and sustainable solutions across Zambia’s health supply chains by combining hands-on logistics coordination with system-strengthening public health programs. Our approach integrates operational support, policy alignment, and community-level visibility to ensure essential medicines consistently move from central level to the last mile.
Health Access Programs
Health Access Programs support the health system by improving visibility, data use, and accountability across the supply chain. The work includes policy-to-implementation follow-up, availability monitoring, facility-level assessments, supportive supervision, technical writing, research, and capacity building. These efforts strengthen routine operations and ensure that decisions remain aligned with national priorities.
Health Access Programs also collaborate closely with health facilities and partners to strengthen routine supply chain functions. This includes supporting ordering processes, improving stock management practices, enhancing last-mile visibility, and helping facilities address barriers that prevent consistent access to essential medicines and health commodities.
Logistics Services
Logistics Services provide coordinated support for the movement of health commodities through warehousing oversight, distribution planning, and procurement facilitation. The work focuses on ensuring that medicines and supplies move efficiently through the system by managing delivery arrangements, routing needs, consolidation, documentation, and communication with key stakeholders.
This support helps organizations reduce delays, strengthen supply chain continuity, and maintain visibility across the distribution process. By aligning logistics coordination with national supply chain structures, the services contribute to the reliable flow of health commodities from central storage to service delivery points.
