Hysantine Arrey Arah
Cameroon
Hysantine graduated in May 2020 with distinction in the Post Graduate Diploma in Global Health Procurement and Supply Chain, and currently works for The Republic of Cameroon’s Ministry of Public Health. 'Promoting health and wellbeing for all’ has always been her passion, says Hysantine Arrey, when asked about her motivation to work in the supply chain management. "When I just started working, I noticed health commodities were found at the central/regional stores but stockouts were registered at the last mile. So, I decided to contribute to saving lives by ensuring an uninterrupted supply of essential medicines and health products." Her continued goal is to improve health outcomes and build greater trust in health systems.
