Supply Chain Now Supply Chain Leadership Across Africa: Are Drones the Key to Broadening Access to Healthcare in Africa?
Our Supply Chain Leadership Across Africa series continues in earnest with a fascinating discussion around the proposition of using drone technology for social good.
In this episode, hosts Scott Luton welcomes Prashant Yadav to the show, a globally recognized expert in healthcare supply chains and affiliate professor at global business school INSEAD, where he leads the Africa Initiative. Prashant is something of a media virtuoso, having appeared in prominent publications such as The Economist and Financial Times to share his expertise.
Sitting alongside Prashant is Olivier Defawe of VillageReach, a global nonprofit that transforms healthcare delivery to reach everyone by working with partners to build responsive primary healthcare systems that deliver health products and services to the most under-reached.
A key priority for both guests centers around realizing the immense potential for drones to unlock healthcare access, supply chain optimization, and socioeconomic development across the African continent.
During the discussion, they touch on a number of pertinent questions:
- What are the major challenges to scaling and sustaining drone transport operations in Africa?
- How can we ultimately ensure drone transport is more cost-effective for public health supply chains?
- What can stakeholders do on the supply and demand side to increase adoption of drone transport across sectors, beyond just public health?
To hear Prashant and Olivier’s thoughts on these issues, and much more, tune into the podcast now.
