The logistics of saving lives: Inside MSF's supply chain with Urshula Edwards

After a flood destroyed a newly stocked pharmacy in South Sudan, Urshula Edwards got a call: “Could you get on a plane?”  Edwards is a supply chain coordinator who has worked in 19 countries with Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). She talks with host Chigo Ahunanya about how logistics and supply chain are essential to humanitarian response.   Whether it’s salvaging medication by canoe from a flooded pharmacy, responding to the needs of 70,000 refugees arriving in Burundi during a fuel crisis, or building an inflatable hospital, teams of logisticians and supply chain humanitarian workers power MSF’s work around the globe.   Learn more about our work and about professional opportunities with MSF at doctorswithoutborders.org.
