Savings: In collaboration with the Supply Chain Manager at USAID Dumisha Afya, we were able to save the organization 18% of the total procurement cost of $ 100,000.00 in 2022, 2023 & 2024, which amounted to around $. 198,000.00. This amount was used to provide more PMTCT & Cervical Cancer Services to patients with HIV/AIDS & Cervical Cancer and thereby transforming their lives positively.
