Pamela Steele Associates: Leading Health Supply Chain Transformation in Africa
Our mission: Partnering for Resilient, Equitable Health Systems Across Africa. As a technical supply chain consulting firm, PSA collaborates with donors and governments to deliver innovative solutions, supporting Ministries of Health and stakeholders in providing accessible, affordable healthcare—rooted in collaboration, sustainability, and women’s leadership, ensuring no community is left behind.
Strategic Initiatives and Recent Events
PSA is actively involved in regional development through various initiatives. Notably, Pamela Steele Associates (PSA) Launches Comprehensive Waste Management Campaign in Kisumu, Kenya on Febr... and also PSA Joins Kenyan Integrated Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain Assistance Activity.
In the broader context of global health, the shift to Integrated Supply Chains is vital because parallel systems are a thing of the past. For years, global health has relied on disease-specific programs, creating separate supply chains for conditions like HIV/AIDS or malaria. PSA addresses these challenges through Unlocking Supply Chain Transformation: Why Maturity Assessment Must Come First. Too often, organisations embark on supply chain improvement initiatives without a clear understanding of their starting point, whether it’s addressing a skills gap or fixing persistent issues.
Workforce Capacity Development
At PSA, we are committed to empowering health systems with a skilled, resilient, and adaptive logistics and supply chain workforce—driving seamless delivery of critical health commodities and catalyzing global health outcomes. We achieve this by building a highly competent, supported, and adequately staffed workforce that delivers excellence across public and private sectors within the health system. Our Team provides clients with actionable, research-driven expertise in health supply chain management, advancing our mission.
PSA Supply Chain Academy
To support this growth, we offer various training resources through the PSA Supply Chain Academy, including:
- E-learning portal
- Course Schedule
- Self-assessment questionnaires
- Health Supply Chain Leader training
- Management and Leadership development
