Join us at the 20th General Membership Meeting of the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition

Will you be at the 20th General Membership Meeting of the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (16-20 October 2023)? We’ll be participating in two concurrent sessions on funding and strategy insights that revolutionise reproductive health supply chains, and on accountability and advocacy strategies for reproductive health supply security.

Revolutionising reproductive health supply chains: Funding and strategy insights

Location: Siam

This session will present global evidence on the barriers, bottlenecks, enablers and solutions to the functional availability of maternal, newborn and child health products, and dig deeper into more nuanced insights from exploratory studies in Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan. These insights will include a focus on product regulation and registration, the existence and lack of market shaping mechanisms, the role of innovation, quality, and domestic financing and the role of public-private partnership.
