RAPID RESPONSE IN OUR DNA: PFSCM was established to help fight one of the world’s most serious and ongoing epidemics, HIV. Now, 15 years later, we are responding to yet another pandemic, COVID-19. This time around, equipped with deep experience and better processes and systems.

MARKET DYNAMICS: We continuously map products available for HIV, Malaria, Tuberculosis, COVID-19, Mpox (Monkeypox formally), and Hepatitis A to E testing and sequencing, and do market research to understand raw material supply, and manufacturers’ production capacities and locations. We engage with suppliers often to grasp their priorities in managing supply and demand and investigate factors that influence product pricing. We also researched the suitability of new health products for specific markets.

PARTNERSHIPS: Experience and the right partners go a long way in an emergency response. We have vast experience in dealing with abrupt changes and crises often encountered in health supply chains. From disasters to theft and sudden legislation changes, we have dealt with many different scenarios. COVID-19 is certainly one of the biggest disruptions we had to deal with, but it was also an opportunity to showcase our agility.
