Summary
The aim of public health is to ensure the uninterrupted supply of vaccines to immunization services, and essential drugs to other services linked to vertical programmes at their delivery points. The present article is about multiple disease-specific supply chains such as vaccines for routine immunization, Tuberculosis control programme, AIDS control programme, Leprosy control programme, vector-borne disease control programme, routine essential drugs and family planning products in the state of Odisha. While there is an increase in multiple cold chain products, in addition to vaccines a number of other pharmaceutical products require controlled-temperature storage. This is another aspect that led to an inquiry into supply chain management in public health products
