About Ugbede abu

Strategic global health expert and pharmacist with over 20 years of experience in health systems strengthening, pharmaceutical and supply chain management, mentoring, and academia. I have successfully led cross-functional teams to design, implement and monitor health programs, apply transformative concepts in complex business environments and promote health outcomes in targeted populations. I collaborate with high-level government officials and technical teams in countries, donor organizations (including WHO, the Global Fund, GAVI, UNICEF, UNITAID, UNFPA, DFID, KfW), and contractors to increase access to quality-assured, safe, and cost-effective lifesaving medicines, vaccines, medical supplies for public health diseases, and pandemics. I leverage evidence-based practices in demand planning, order fulfillment, market-shaping, risk management, contract management, quality assurance, quality control, end-to-end supply chain management, and pharmacovigilance to achieve public health goals.Core focus: Supply Chain Management| Workforce Development| Risk Management| Management Information System| Design Thinking| Program and Financial Management| Performance Management| Program Evaluation| Organizational Reform| Policy Design| Drug Safety| Change Management| Training| Mentoring| Teaching| Drug Regulatory Systems.
