Research, incubation, and technical assistance: in addition to the programs below, Villagereach supports governments across 15 african countries and Washington state to understand strategies for reaching more hard to reach children and adolescents with vaccines, improve access to telehealth and telemedicine services, improve laboratory sample transport efforts, improve public health outreach strategies, and engage in community-based participatory research to improve access to primary health care services for hard to reach populations.

Drones for health: Villagereach's drones for health solution improves access to health products by integrating drones into supply chains. In collaboration with governments, the private sector and non-governmental organizations, we are demonstrating the potential to improve product availability and increase equitable access to lifesaving medicines and vaccines. Drones help to save time where it is more geographically challenging for cars, motorcycles or boats to reach and also have the potential to create cost-efficiencies.

Accelerating next-generation supply chains: Villagereach works with ministries of health to design and implement "next-generation" supply chains to get medicines and vaccines to all people who need them. Along with our direct work with governments and their partners to implement new supply chain designs in mozambique, drc, and tanzania, the organization also drives change globally through advocacy, evidence-generation, and partnerships that encourage additional countries to initiate and expand efforts to improve supply chain effectiveness and efficiency.

Supply chain for community health workers: Villagereach serves as the supply chain partner for the community health impact coalition, helping ensure that community health workers (chws) are equipped with the products they need to serve the people in their communities. This includes working with governments to improve access to supply for chws and working on the data systems that support chws to deliver services to their communities.

Health center by phone: health center by phone is a scalable, sustainable digital health solution that engages both caregivers and health workers through voice, mobile, and ai technology to extend the reach of primary health care services into communities. Through this program, Villagereach works with governments to build telehealth and telemedicine platforms that provide advice, information, referrals, and identify and address outbreaks and emergencies.

Openlmis: electronic logistics management information systems (elmis) can improve, support, and automate supply chain data collection and processes to equip health workers and logisticians with reliable, accurate, and timely data needed to ensure products are available when and where they are needed as part of a robust, responsive primary health care system. Villagereach is a founding member of the openlmis community, an open-source logistics management information system designed to manage health commodity data in low-resource settings. Villagereach works with governments to design, select, and implement openlmis and other elmis
