Hello,


I was recently introduced to this site. I am very interested in supply chain management and logistics of health commodities and was wondering if anyone knew of an online course (preferably free) I could take to enhance my knowledge?


I'd appreciate suggestions.


Thanks.

I am one of the beneficiaries of the WHOPharmaceutical Cold Chain management authentic e-learning course. It has really improved my knowledge especially in vaccine supply chain management.

I believe these courses are like investments in immunisation programmes, I therefore wish if every country would use this valuable opportunity and ensure immunisation resources persons do participate in this course. I even wish if there will be a follow up courses.

I would like to confirm the importance of on line epela course of cold chain management and VVM management. I had the opportunity to particiapate in these courses, I'am very satisfied of practical cases study and the expertise of mentors especially Dr Umit Kartaglu. Now I duplucate training to our health personal implicated in vaccination programs, the added value is evident and I recommend strongly to apply on these courses.
