Dear TechNet community
I'm pleased to share this video introduction to Equipment Monitoring Systems (EMS), a new WHO requirement for vaccine refrigerators starting in 2026. Learn how EMS helps improve cold chain reliability through better data access, streamlined troubleshooting, and integration with national systems. This video outlines what EMS means for health workers, technicians, and program managers as the transition begins.

As EMS equipment becomes prequalified, you will be able to view details on the WHO PQS website:

The WHO Supply Chain Guidance page will provide job aides and additional support, as those are published:

Dear all, I have created a new Hot Topic page that brings together existing EMS resources and related guidance. This includes the introductory video that Benson shared previously.
Over time, the list will grow as new material is published. The new page can be found here:

Please let me know if you are aware of additional resources that should be added.
