Public Health Supply Chain: A systematic Literature Review of the Human Resource Components
Paper details:
This is an MSc thesis in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Overview With few exceptions, vaccine supply and logistics systems around the world are unable to keep
pace with growing immunization programs. The need to go deeper into the relationship between HR and immunization supply chains has been clearly spelled out as despite
the advancements made in terms of technology and tools available, the overall performance of health supply chains, especially for vaccines administration and
immunization systems in developing countries, are well below the international targets. There is strong empirical research claiming that rates of out-of-stock and
wastage are high also due to staff being generally unqualified, poorly trained, un-empowered and poorly managed. The aim of the thesis is to conduct a systematic
literature review to unfold existing knowledge on the topic. The Gavi Alliance has invested significant resources on understanding the root cause of inefficiency in
immunization supply chains, where 50% of vaccines gets wasted. The overlap between human Resource practices and Supply chain management has provÕÉ≠†Њ†en to be a real
challenge for the sector. The objective of the thesis is then to better understand how the two domains interact in the existing literature.
70 percent of the work is already done. Now I need someone to do the THEMATIC FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS chapter and the DISCUSSION/RESEARCH GAP/RECOMMENDATION AND
CONCLUSION chapter..
I want you to only analyse the 71 articles i provide and nothing else.
I have provided a word template to give yo the background of the work and also the possible and likely themes ( guide) i want you to work under. All can be found in
the word document .
