The goal of a health logistics system is much larger than simply making sure a product gets where it needs to go. Ultimately, the goal of every public health logistics system is to help ensure that every customer has commodity security.

A properly functioning supply chain is a critical part of ensuring commodity security–financing, policies, and commitment are also necessary. How Logistics helps in improving Public Health? Effective supply chains not only help ensure commodity security, they also help determine the success or failure of any public health program. Both in business and in the public sector, decision makers increasingly direct their attention to improving supply chains, because logistics improvements bring important, quantifiable benefits. Well-functioning supply chains benefit public health programs in important ways by– increasing program impact enhancing quality of care improving cost effectiveness and efficiency. What is logistics management Information system? It is an online web application which captures the stock indicators data from Service delivery points and informs it users about Stock positions, stock out and consumption pattern for the purpose of smooth supply of commodities by quantification and procurement of commodities. What is LMIS and how it is different from DHIS? An LMIS collects data about commodities; this information is often used for activities, such as filling routine supply orders for health facilities. DHIS collects information on the total number of patients seen or diagnosed; data from DHIS is not used as often as LMIS data– i.e., annually–and it is used for different purposes–i.e., for evaluating program impact. Logisticians emphasize the use of logistics data for making decisions about activities within the logistics cycle. Last Modified: 11/Mar/2014. What is Contraceptive logistics management system?
