Course Description:
Hello!
I'm Ron Wehrens, a pharmacist from The Netherlands with over 30 years of experience dedicated exclusively to improving pharmaceutical supply management in the public sector and humanitarian projects across low and middle-income countries (LMICs). My journey has taken me through more than 40 countries, including extensive missions in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. In these regions, I've faced and overcome fundamental challenges related to limited resources, unreliable data, the necessity for proper staff training and motivation, and the complex demands of donors.
Key Highlights:
- Real-World Experience: My hands-on work includes running a pharmaceutical warehouse in Uganda, setting up antiretroviral reporting systems in Vietnam, and conducting tailored trainings on managing HIV or Tuberculosis supplies in Mongolia and Tajikistan.
- Strategic Insight: I've conducted procurement audits that uncovered significant instances of fraud and corruption, and advised on high-level strategic planning for the World Health Organization (WHO) and various international humanitarian organizations.
- Government Advisor: Served as an advisor to national ministries of Health, aiding in their planning, budgeting, and delivery processes for medical supplies.
Course Content: The core of this course is rooted in my extensive field experience. We'll delve into practical approaches to supply management, emphasizing:
- Product Availability: Ensuring the right medications are available where and when needed.

They apply to high-income countries aiming to refine their supply management strategies and to those managing non-pharmaceutical supplies. The core principles of effective supply management are strikingly similar across various contexts.
