The goal of the Zambia Defense Forces (ZDF) Health System Strengthening program is to assist the ZDF to develop, implement, manage, and evaluate effective and sustainable health supply systems to ensure the continuous availability of ARVs, HIV tests, and laboratory commodities in health facilities in the three branches of the military. The program includes increasing access at health facilities to laboratory tests such as chemistry, hematology and CD4 counts and ensuring clients who require full HAART have access to the necessary services and commodities.

In addition to technical support, JSI Logistics Services plans to use the Department of Defense (DOD) COP 2012 funds to support the ZDF Health System Strengthening Program by procuring cost-effective, high quality laboratory equipment in support of the ZDF ART and PMTCT programs.

To assist in meeting this goal, JSI Logistics Services will:

Develop and implement a ZDF logistics management system for laboratory commodities;

Reinforce implementation of the ARV and HIV test commodities supply chain management system;

Design and implement a computerization plan for the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) in selected ZDF sites;

Ensure increased availability of health commodities at ZDF health facilities through performance monitoring and improvement of the various logistics systems;

JSI Logistics Services will continue to support the ARV, HIV test and laboratory commodity logistics systems that are managed by the ZDF and Medical Stores Limited by providing capacity building on and quality monitoring of those systems. JSI Logistics Services will also provide procurement services for key laboratory equipment required to meet the ZDF Health System Strengthening Program.
