Gaza Health Logistics & Medical Supply Working Group
As part of the Health Cluster, the Gaza Logistics and Medical Supply Working Group works to provide responding partners with an improved understanding of urgently needed medical supplies and priorities. Though the support of WHO’s Operations Support and Logistics (OSL) team, a medical pipeline dashboard has been established to support enhanced data collection, sharing and improved decision making. The global aim of the working group is to facilitate emergency prioritization of medical commodities to be shipped into Gaza according to the needs identified by the Health Cluster partners. To do so, an online global medical commodities dashboard is being set up to share immediate update as soon as available. The effective mode of support has been bilateral in nature for specific issues and group meetings will be called to address relevant and timely topics. Topics of discussion include medical supply pipeline management (importation process, distribution tracking, PUSH prioritization of commodities), health facility logistics needs, and other related issues.
