Article Synopsis
- Supply chain bottlenecks hinder access to essential medicines for community health workers, leading to higher child mortality rates in low-income and rural areas.
- Interventions tested in Malawi and Rwanda included demand-based resupply procedures and multilevel quality improvement (QI) teams, assessed through mixed-method evaluations over multiple years.
- Results showed that these interventions improved collaboration and problem-solving among health workers, and while effective resupply procedures are essential, they must be supported by QI teams to ensure consistent availability of medicines.
