During this episode Tiwonge speaks with Lloyd Matowe, CEO of Pharmaceutical Systems Africa, about the importance of recognizing supply chain work as a profession in Africa. Regardless of who is managing health products, be it pharmacists or a new workforce cadre, managing supply chains is a skillset that requires training. Tiwonge and Lloyd discuss how African countries can achieve this, and stress that high-performing supply chains must have a sustainable pipeline of locally, adequately trained supply chain professionals. Lloyd has many years of experience as a pharmacist and at the time of recording this episode he was chair of the People that Deliver Coalition. His term ended in January 2023.
