To tackle the problem of low contraception use in Senegal, Merck for Mothers partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, IntraHealth International, and Senegal’s Ministry of Health and Social Action to introduce an innovative supply chain model to reduce stock-outs at health facilities, broaden contraception options, and, ultimately, empower girls and women. The Informed Push Model borrows practices from the commercial sector to improve availability of healthcare commodities in public health facilities. Today, third-party logistics providers (3PLs) deliver commodities directly to all 1,400 public health facilities in Senegal, using real-time data to make on-the-spot stocking decisions. The 3PLs use tablets to record health facility inventory, measure recent consumption, and calculate the amount of stock to leave at the facility for future demand, providing unprecedented visibility of contraception use and needs to help inform programmatic and procurement decisions.
