Our Cohort II interns recently completed their placement at inSupply Health, where they brought diverse expertise into real-world work across supply chain, data transformation, workforce development, and market access.

Through hands-on delivery and stakeholder engagement, they built practical skills in health systems thinking, data use, and problem-solving while contributing to projects.

First up, meet Felix Ontita.

A Registered Nurse, Felix’s shift from clinical care to health systems reflects growth and adaptability. As part of the October 2025 cohort, he applied his clinical experience to strengthening health systems through hands-on project work, applying his clinical background in new and meaningful ways.

Strengthening capacity is important to improving confidence, competence, and the long-term sustainability of a health system.

inSupply Health achieves this by providing targeted training and practical, on-site mentorship. This approach has enabled Impact teams to better conduct Data Quality Assessments (DQAs) and effectively monitor commodity data using standardized tools.

This ability is key, as it allows frontline providers to independently evaluate data quality and implement necessary corrective actions. As a result, improvements become integrated into routine practice.

Here is one Pharmaceutical Technician reflection highlighting the impact of this work.⤵️

The way we work in health supply systems is evolving faster, becoming more interconnected, and increasingly data-driven.

As our work grows, so does the need to better organise, communicate, and share it in a way that reflects that reality.

This marks the beginning of that shift at inSupply.

The Isiolo County Health Product and Technologies Unit (HPTU), with support from inSupply Health, Health Systems Insight, and Health Procurement Africa, convened a multidisciplinary supply chain performance review meeting that brought together representatives from the County Health Management Team, Sub-County Health Management Team led by the Director of Family Health, and the Chief Officer for Health.

Leveraging the IMPACTT Approach, a data-driven supply chain problem-solving technique, the team conducted a deep dive into the current bottlenecks using dashboards or platforms such as the Indicator Tracking Tool, 647 Dashboard, KHIS, and KEMSA FP-e-LMIS.

The meeting also provided a platform for examining how the interdependence of forecasting, financing, and procurement affects the availability of MNCH and other essential commodities.

This provided the basis to co-develop strategies on evidence-based resource allocation, strategic prioritization through the Strategic Resource Management Tool (SMArT), procurement of Health Products and Technologies, as well as strengthening local finance mechanisms to further bridge the funding gap between forecasted needs and available budget.

In Tanga, when the IMPACT baseline assessment revealed high overstocks and commodities being ordered without demand, it presented an opportunity to improve supply chain management. Through coordinated redistribution and strengthened ordering practices, facilities translated insight into measurable improvement.

Across three consecutive reporting periods, 9 of 10 supported facilities reduced overstock levels. All ten facilities maintained less than 3% percent of no-demand-but-ordered commodities, fully aligning with national standards.

IMPACT Teams in Tanzania continue to demonstrate that sustainable system strengthening is built through discipline to use information effectively, make timely adjustments, and institutionalize performance improvement.

In Tanzania, IMPACTT approach and teams are key to strengthening health systems. Using data and turning it into action they are able to identify gaps, solve supply chain challenges, and drive measurable improvements at facility level.

These teams have demonstrated significant success, particularly in reducing overstocks and ensuring commodity orders are aligned with real demand.

This data-driven approach, combined with local leadership ownership, proves that health systems can become smarter, more efficient, and more responsive.

Over the next few weeks, we will share testimonials and results from Tanga City council to demonstrate how IMPACTT Approach and teams are delivering measurable change across supported facilities.

Strengthening health supply chains starts with better data and better tools to act on it.

The quantification tool, co-created by inSupply Health and the Ministry of Health, Kenya Department of Health Products and Technologies (DHPT), is helping counties across Kenya move from manual, fragmented forecasting to more accurate, data-driven planning.

Implemented in Nairobi, Nakuru, Isiolo, Kakamega, and Trans Nzoia, and now scaled to Turkana, Baringo, and Kwale in collaboration with VillageReach, the tool is improving forecasting accuracy, reducing stockouts, and enabling the evidence-based resource allocation of health products across facilities.

We joined the CHU4UHC all partners meeting as partners supporting the development of the next Community Health Strategy (2027–2032)

Across the discussions, it was clear that strengthening health financing, service delivery, supply chains, governance, and digitization remains key and these elements must work together to achieve Universal Health Coverage.

We have seen what strong community health systems can deliver. The next phase now requires turning frontline experience into clear, system-wide decisions that strengthen performance at scale.

For us, supply chains remain a critical part of the system. When they work well, care reaches the last mile consistently. When they don’t, the whole system feels the impact.

inSupply Health continues to work alongside government and partners to strengthen community health systems through stronger supply chains, better data use, and practical, scalable solutions.

The Delivering Innovations in Self-Care (DISC) project concluded a week-long supportive supervision across 97 public facilities in Nairobi County.

In partnership with Sub-County Reproductive Health Coordinators and Sub-County Pharmacists, the exercise focused on improving providers' capacity, stock distribution and strengthening supply chain management to ensure consistent access to high-quality family planning services.

Key highlights:
🟩Capacity building: Strengthened facility-level management through supportive engagement.
🟩Commodity management: Identified gaps and facilitated stock redistribution to maximize resource use.
🟩Data for decision-making: Reinforced the importance of accurate reporting to drive supply chain visibility.

The project is implemented by inSupply Health with support from Population Services International (PSI), aiming to increase uptake of self-injectable DMPA-SC by integrating self-care into the expanded method mix within health systems, and giving women greater control and autonomy over their sexual and reproductive health (SRH)
