And we know how. Since 2005, i+solutions has set the industry standard for health procurement. We drive an innovative agenda to improve global health supply chains. We combine procurement, training, project management, quality assurance and technical expertise to make a difference from the first to the last mile, closing the gap between patients and medicine.
Big dreams ask for big solutions. That’s why we work with global donors, countries, and partners to make a difference daily. These partnerships enable us to scale our solutions, drive industry innovation, and conquer new challenges. Together, we combine big hearts with big data to improve supply chains that secure accessibility and care.
We’re here to close the gap.
And together, we can!
As a not-for-profit procurement services agent, i+solutions not only supports donor-funded projects but we also directly assist Ministries of Health, implementors, NGOs and other parties in multiple countries with their procurement of health products and related commodities. i+solutions offers its procurement and logistic services for standard supplies as well as to answer out-of-stock and/or emergency situations. Its diversified outsourced capabilities include market access services, supplier selection, sourcing, negotiating, helping to coordinate freight forwarding of commodities to the final consignee, and ensuring that procurements comply with the applicable rules and regulations. The private sector digital marketplace XS2Meds supports local manufacturing and regional economic growth, and reduces dependency on international supply chains.
In alignment with i+solutions’ vision of a world without unmet medical needs, the Digitalization and Optimization Services department (DOS) is dedicated to improving last-mile access to medicines through enhanced transparency and visibility. The specific mission is to strengthen public health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by leveraging optimization, digitalization, change management, and capacity building. Throughout 2023, i+ has remained steadfast in the commitment to this mission, focusing on four key projects that embody our objectives. These initiatives are designed to reinforce the foundation of public health supply chain, ensuring that vital medicines reach those who need them most efficiently and effectively.
i+academy (www.iplusacademy.org), i+solutions’ e-learning platform, was set up to support clients and partners by designing and delivering cost-effective capacity building solutions.
