Executing at the Edge: Data, Speed, and Climate-Resilient Health Systems
Host: Direct Relief and Nexleaf Analytics
Global health funding disruptions, intensifying climate shocks, and growing operational complexity are placing new strain on fragile, decentralized health systems and last-mile service delivery. In this environment, partnerships between governments and organizations able to procure and deploy medicines and medical equipment quickly and at scale are becoming more critical than ever.
This candid, practitioner-focused panel brings together leaders from Direct Relief, Nexleaf Analytics, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) to explore how rapid, quality-assured commodity delivery depends on real-time visibility into supply chains, cold chain performance, and climate-resilient health infrastructure, including clean and reliable power.
Designed as an interactive exchange for global health funders, practitioners, and system builders, the session examines how data, partnership, and resilient infrastructure enable fast, accountable execution at the edge.
