Managing change: Integrating vaccine and medicine supply chains

Many countries rely on external development assistance for health care, which has resulted in individual disease specific programs with separate supply chains, such as vaccines, malaria, HIV/AIDS, family-planning, essential medicines and other health products. Specifically, vaccine supply chains require cold chain to maintain their potency, which often means they have a separate supply chain.
