The learningmethodology is unique andinteresting.The public health pharmacists as certified Medlog can contribute a lot.”

Feedback on the programme from a graduate of Medlog:

“The reasons why I decided to enrol for the Fritz/CILT certification programme is because the programme is related to what I do daily. This programme is more practical and designed to respond to the challenges, we as field Logisticians are facing in our daily operations.

The programme has helped me to widen my knowledge on medical logistics, now I have confidence in what I do. I have used the programme to improve my supply chain management skills, now I know what I need to ensure the quality of what we deliver to our beneficiaries including lifesaving materials drugs.

I have already conducted various trainings to my colleagues on various topics. My plan is to share this knowledge as much as possible.”
