  •  Evaluation of energy harvest control systems used with solar direct drive vaccine refrigerators and freezers in Senegal
    Many health facilities in low- and middle-income countries lack access to reliable mains electricity, making the refrigeration of vaccines at appropriate temperatures challenging. A common solution is to use solar direct drive refrigerators. The solar arrays that power solar direct drive refrigerators often produce more energy than the...

  •  Solutions to address primary health care cold chain and integration bottlenecks
    Accidental interruption of the cold chain storage of health products can create problems such as spoilage, changes in the appearance, taste, or smell, growth of harmful bacteria, or lost potency. As part of PATH’s work in supply systems and equipment, this presentation provides insights into the biggest challenges in the cold chain management of...

  •  Using long-range freeze-preventive vaccine carriers in Nepal: A study of equipment performance, acceptability, systems fit, and cost
    Preventing vaccine freezing is one of the biggest challenges in vaccine management. Until 2018, vaccine carriers used in the immunization program lacked features to prevent vaccine freezing. Freeze-preventive vaccine carriers (FPVCs) have an engineered liner that buffers vaccines from direct exposure to frozen ice packs. A field evaluation of...

  • Hi Hendrick,

     

    Yes, we will post a summary to Technet after the results are analyzed, which will likely be in late November.

     

    We just today posted a French version of the survey under a separate Technet posting but also available at the link below with a deadline of November 5: 

    https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=PWT9PXF93NW47TPR   

     

    To others that read this response, there are still a few days left to fill out the English version of the survey:

  • Chers / Chères collègues,

    PATH cherche à identifier et documenter les principaux obstacles qui entravent le système de la chaîne du froid concernant les soins de santé primaire (SSP), ainsi que les opportunités et défis de l’intégration des chaînes du froid des produits de SSP et des produits vaccinaux. Nous avons entrepris à cette fin une enquête dans laquelle nous demandons aux répondants d’identifier et de décrire, au sein de la chaîne du froid des SSP, les principaux obstacles à la délivrance de produits de santé prioritaires sensibles à la température aux personnes qui en ont besoin. Nous invitons les experts de la chaîne du froid et/ou de la prestation de SSP à participer. Les réponses à cette enquête éclaireront les recommandations de stratégie et les prochaines étapes d'intégration et de solutions de chaîne du froid propices à la prestation des services de SSP. Le questionnaire demande 10 à 15 minutes d'attention.

    Merci de bien vouloir répondre à l’enquête d'ici le...
