Medicines on the Move: Strengthening the Supply Chain for Community Health Workers in Kwale County, Kenya How do essential medicines reach community health workers serving remote households? In Kwale County, located along Kenya’s coast, the county government is strengthening its community health supply chain to improve commodity availability at the last mile. This short documentary follows the journey of health products from the county warehouse to frontline community health workers, highlighting practical improvements in data visibility, training, and integrated logistics systems. Led by the Kwale County Government and supported by Kenya’s Ministry of Health and partners, these efforts aim to improve reliability across the supply chain — ensuring that essential medicines are available when and where they are needed. Reliable supply chains are foundational to primary health care and universal health coverage.
