Myth or Fact?

Myth: Health supply chains in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are financially sustainable.

Fact: Most public health supply chains in LMICs are still heavily reliant on donor funding. While external support has enabled many critical health programs, the lack of sustainable domestic financing means that improvements are often difficult to maintain over the long term. Without consistent local investment and ownership, system resilience and performance remain vulnerable.

Building strong, self-sustaining health supply chains requires a shift from short-term donor dependency to long-term national commitment and co-financing strategies.

Did You Know?

India’s Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN) has transformed vaccine logistics across the country.

By digitizing stock management and cold chain monitoring across all states and union territories, covering nearly 29,000 cold chain points, eVIN has achieved:
Over 99% vaccine availability,
An 80%+ reduction in vaccine stock-outs.

This system has helped ensure timely and equitable access to vaccines, demonstrating how real-time data, digital tools, and supply chain visibility can dramatically improve health outcomes in low- and middle-income settings.

Faster Detection. Smarter Resupply.

In March 2025, the Ghana Ministry of Health marked World TB Day by highlighting the nationwide rollout of GeneXpert molecular testing machines and digital X-ray units across more than 100 district hospitals.

Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, Minister of Health, underscored the government’s commitment to strengthening TB control efforts, stating:

“We are determined to increase funding for TB control activities.”

By equipping facilities with these diagnostic tools, the Ministry is not only accelerating case detection but also building a digital inventory of consumables that links directly to a centralized ordering system, optimizing procurement and minimizing emergency reorders.

Myth or Fact?

Myth: Falsified medicines are a negligible issue in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Fact: Falsified medications pose a significant threat to patient safety and the integrity of the healthcare system. They can enter the supply chain through various channels and require strong regulatory oversight, secure distribution practices, and multi-sectoral collaboration to prevent and detect. They can also result in increasing the burden of resistance from antimicrobials.

Did You Know?

In Ghana, integrating drone technology into the public health supply chain has dramatically transformed delivery times for life-saving medical supplies.

Through medical delivery drones, transport times for critical items such as blood, vaccines, and medicines have been reduced from 8–21 days (via traditional ground routes) to as little as 45 minutes.

This shift not only enhances emergency response capabilities but also improves equity in healthcare delivery for remote and underserved regions.

Our Story

Bee Skilled is the dream to see self-sustaining public health systems in low- and middle-income countries. After decades of pursuits by our founders in Sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia, we realized that self-sustainability is only achievable when local talent is competent, confident and equipped with relevant knowledge to solve their own problems. However, the road to achieving this is often long, challenging and unsurprisingly, really expensive.

Our effort is to break these barriers and bring relevant knowledge and skills at your fingertips in the most affordable manner. We aspire to see competent health workforce driving the Universal Health Coverage agenda in their respective countries.
