In this episode, we go behind the scenes of rural health delivery with Idrissa Rogers, a seasoned logistics and supply chain professional with over a decade of experience in humanitarian and development work.
From poor infrastructure and river-dependent communities to corruption and internal bottlenecks, Idrissa paints a raw and honest picture of what it really takes to deliver essential health supplies to remote areas of Sierra Leone.
He shares how logistics isn’t just about transport — it’s about access, trust, and life itself. Idrissa discusses the importance of local partnerships, the role of transparency in ensuring successful delivery, and introduces the RED ROSE system — a digital tool used by UNICEF to onboard beneficiaries and ensure accountability in distributing malaria relief materials.
This conversation opens our eyes to the unsung heroes of rural health — the logisticians, field coordinators, and partners who make access possible, one shipment at a time.
