The ColaLife Concept | Scenario 1 | The District Switch

How the ColaLife concept might complement existing medicine supply chains from the district level to individual »

District Centre
In this scenario, Aipdods, packed in cardboard boxes, are fed into the existing national Distribution Network to District Level provided by:
  Government (eg NMS, Uganda),
  Government/Private Sector (eg MSL, Zambia)
  or NGO
Pre-packed AidPods travel to the District Centre packed in boxes. AidPods are diarrhoea treatment kits
Shop owner travels to District Centre to purchase provisions
Shop owner returns to village with AidPods in drinks crates
Community Health Worker collects AidPods from village shop. The AidPods contain diarrhoea treatment kits.
Wholesaler visits Medical Supply Centre to collect boxes of AidPods
Wholesaler removes AidPods from boxes and places them in the crates
Community Health Worker uses diarrhoea treatment kits in his/her work with new mothers.
The ColaLife Concept
Scenario 1
Complementing distribution systems that work to District Level
In this example the system is used to get diarrhoea treatment kits to new mothers through a community health worker.
Diarrhoea treatment kits are packed into AidPods which fit into the unused space in drinks crates.
The ColaLife Concept starts here
In the very remotest communities where dedicated distribution systems for medicines are simply too expensive to implement
In these communities, one in five children die before their fifth birthday from preventable causes like dehydration from diarrhoea. That is a mortality rate of 20%, now, in 2010.
