THANK YOU MESSAGE BY THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, KADUNA STATE HEALTH SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT AGENCY (KADHSMA)

On behalf of the Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA), I wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to all dignitaries, partners, and members of the public who honoured our invitation to the commissioning of the Sabon Gari Zonal Drug Warehouse.
We are deeply grateful to Her Excellency, Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, for graciously commissioning this important facility and for her unwavering support and commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery in Kaduna State. Her presence and leadership continue to inspire confidence in the health sector.
We also extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Uba Sani, whose visionary leadership and sustained investments in healthcare infrastructure and systems have made this milestone possible.
The commissioning of this zonal warehouse, along with similar facilities in Ikara, Kachia, and Kafanchan, represents a major step toward eliminating medicine stock-outs and improving last-mile delivery of essential health commodities across the state. The simultaneous launch of the capitalization of health facilities with Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) commodities further strengthens our collective effort to ensure that medicines are consistently available, accessible, and affordable.
We sincerely appreciate the presence and support of the Honourable Commissioner of Health, the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, local government officials, development partners, and all stakeholders who have contributed in diverse ways to the success of this initiative.
At KADHSMA, our mandate remains the continuous supply of safe, high-quality, and affordable medicines to public health facilities. We are encouraged by the progress made and remain committed to sustaining these gains for the benefit of all citizens.
We also call on community members and stakeholders to take ownership of this facility by safeguarding it against vandalism and ensuring its proper use, as its success depends on our collective responsibility.
Once again, we thank you all for your support, collaboration, and dedication to improving healthcare delivery in Kaduna State.

Bridging Theory with Practice!

The Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA) was delighted to host students from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kaduna state university (KASU) on a practical training and field visit to the Agency’s health commodity warehouse.

As a key health commodity logistics hub, the Agency remains committed to strengthening knowledge by connecting classroom theories with real-life practical experiences. During the visit, the students were exposed to modern systems of health commodity storage, inventory management, distribution, and supply chain processes that ensure essential medicines and medical supplies reach health facilities across Kaduna State efficiently.

The interaction provided an opportunity for the students to gain first-hand insight into pharmaceutical supply chain management, while also engaging with professionals managing the logistics of life-saving health commodities.

The Agency appreciates the leadership of Kaduna State University and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences for fostering academic–industry collaboration that prepares the next generation of pharmaceutical and health supply chain professionals.

At KADHSMA, we remain committed to supporting education, strengthening health systems, and building capacity for a healthier Kaduna State.

Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA)
Activities and Achievements – 2025

In 2025, the Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA) recorded significant milestones in strengthening the public health supply-chain system. These achievements were delivered under the stewardship of the Kaduna State Ministry of Health, and made possible through the consistent support of the Kaduna State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, Executive Governor of Kaduna State, and the strategic policies, oversight, and reform agenda of the Kaduna State Ministry of Health. Collectively, these efforts advance the State’s commitment to efficient service delivery and Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
Key Achievements
1. Commissioning and Upgrade of Pharma-Grade Warehouse Infrastructure
Under the leadership and policy direction of the Kaduna State Ministry of Health, KADHSMA commissioned a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical-grade warehouse, officially inaugurated by His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani. The facility—currently the largest pharma-grade warehouse in Nigeria—was complemented by comprehensive renovation and landscaping of the central warehouse infrastructure. This strategic investment, championed by the Ministry, strengthened Good Storage Practices (GSP), enhanced security, and significantly improved the quality, safety, and uninterrupted availability of essential medicines across Kaduna State.
2. Decentralisation through Zonal Warehouses
As part of the Ministry of Health’s drive to improve equitable access to health commodities, four zonal warehouses were established in Sabon Gari, Ikara, Kafanchan, and Kachia. This intervention decentralised storage and distribution, improved responsiveness, and strengthened last-mile delivery to health facilities across all 23 Local Government Areas.
3. Strengthened Logistics and Fleet Management
In line with Ministry-approved reforms to optimise public health logistics, KADHSMA established a dedicated Fleet Management Unit. The initiative improved vehicle utilisation, maintenance planning, delivery scheduling, route optimisation, and accountability, resulting in more timely and reliable distribution of health commodities statewide.
4. Improved Governance of DRF and ISHSS
Guided by the Kaduna State Ministry of Health’s commitment to transparency and sustainability, operational guidelines for the Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) and the Integrated Sustainable Health Supply System (ISHSS) were reviewed and validated. These reforms strengthened governance, accountability, and long-term sustainability in the management of essential medicines.
5. Integrated Last-Mile Delivery (iLMD)
With strong policy backing from the Ministry of Health, KADHSMA successfully implemented Integrated Last-Mile Delivery (iLMD) of essential medicines and family-planning commodities. This ensured routine and timely supply to health facilities across Kaduna State and significantly improved commodity availability at service-delivery points.
6. Human Capacity Development
As part of the Ministry’s health-workforce development strategy, Agency staff obtained professional certifications including CIPS (UK) and ISCEA, strengthening procurement governance, supply-chain leadership, and institutional performance within the public health system.
7. Academic and Professional Development Support
In furtherance of the Ministry of Health’s mandate to strengthen human capital, KADHSMA provided structured training and practical support to students, interns, foreign-trained pharmacists, and participants of the West African Postgraduate College of Pharmacists (WAPCP).
8. Policy and Operational Strengthening
Driven by the Ministry of Health’s reform agenda and implemented through KADHSMA, critical policy and operational documents were developed, reviewed, validated, and disseminated. These include quality-assurance guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures for integrated last-mile delivery, proxy deliveries, and funded family-planning procurement.
9. Launch of the Kaduna State Supply Chain Innovation Hub
As a flagship initiative aligned with the strategic vision of the Kaduna State Ministry of Health, KADHSMA launched the Kaduna State Supply Chain Innovation Hub. The Hub serves as a centre for data-driven decision-making, digital innovation, operational research, capacity development, and cross-sector collaboration, positioning Kaduna State as a national leader in public health supply-chain innovation.
KADHSMA acknowledges the leadership, ownership, and strategic guidance of the Kaduna State Ministry of Health, and appreciates the unwavering support of the Kaduna State Government under His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, in delivering sustainable improvements in the availability, quality, and accountability of essential medicines for the people of Kaduna State.
