    Neftaly Strengthening HMIS, Laboratory System and Procurement & Supply Chain Management Systems

    Neftaly: Strengthening HMIS, Laboratory Systems, and Procurement & Supply Chain Management

    At Neftaly (South African Youth Project), we are committed to strengthening the backbone of public health delivery by improving key health system components — Health Management Information Systems (HMIS), Laboratory Systems, and Procurement & Supply Chain Management (PSCM). These systems are critical for efficient service delivery, effective disease control, and long-term health system resilience.

    Our approach focuses on capacity building, digital transformation, quality assurance, and accountability, ensuring that communities receive timely, accurate, and quality health services.


    1. Health Management Information Systems (HMIS)

    A robust HMIS ensures that health data is timely, accurate, and actionable. Neftaly works to strengthen data systems for improved decision-making and health service delivery.

    Key Focus Areas:

    • Training healthcare workers in data collection, entry, validation, and analysis.
    • Supporting the rollout of electronic medical records (EMRs) and reporting platforms.
    • Promoting data use through dashboards, regular reviews, and feedback loops.
    • Enhancing interoperability between facility-based and community health data systems.

    2. Laboratory Systems

    High-quality laboratory services are essential for accurate diagnosis, disease surveillance, and patient care. Neftaly supports the enhancement of laboratory capacity and quality at all levels.

    Key Focus Areas:

    • Infrastructure support and supply of essential equipment and reagents.
    • Strengthening quality control measures and lab accreditation readiness.
    • Training lab personnel on standard operating procedures and diagnostic protocols.
    • Enhancing sample referral systems and result turnaround time, especially for HIV, TB, and COVID-19.

    3. Procurement & Supply Chain Management Systems

    A reliable supply chain ensures that critical medical products — from ARVs to lab reagents — are always available where and when needed. Neftaly improves procurement planning, logistics, and inventory management.

    Key Focus Areas:

    • Capacity building in forecasting, quantification, and stock management.
    • Deployment of digital tools for inventory tracking and reporting.
    • Support for last-mile delivery systems and emergency response logistics.
    • Ensuring transparency and compliance with national procurement guidelines.

    Our Impact

    • Trained over 300 frontline workers across HMIS, laboratory, and supply chain systems.
    • Supported digital transformation of data systems in 30+ public health facilities.
    • Improved availability and turnaround time for essential diagnostics and medicines.
    • Reduced stock-outs and improved reporting accuracy across supported sites.

    Building Resilient Health Systems

    Neftaly’s work strengthens the pillars of a functional health system, enabling faster responses to epidemics, better patient outcomes, and greater accountability. By investing in systems today, we are building a stronger, healthier tomorrow.

    Neftaly: Strengthening Health System Capacity for Effective Service Delivery

    At Neftaly (South African Youth Project), we understand that a robust health system relies on strong foundations of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), procurement and supply management (PSM), public financial management (PFM), and programme management. Strengthening these core capacities is critical for ensuring efficient, transparent, and sustainable health service delivery that meets community needs.

    Our initiative focuses on building the technical, operational, and institutional capacity of health systems to improve performance, accountability, and resource utilization across all levels of healthcare.


    Program Objectives

    • Enhance the capacity of health system stakeholders to collect, analyze, and use data for informed decision-making.
    • Strengthen procurement and supply chain systems to ensure the availability of essential medicines and health commodities.
    • Improve public financial management practices for transparent and accountable use of resources.
    • Build programme management skills to support effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of health interventions.

    Key Intervention Areas

    1. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Capacity Building

    • Training health workers and managers on data collection, analysis, reporting, and use.
    • Support the development and implementation of health information systems (HIS) integrated with national HMIS platforms.
    • Promote a culture of data-driven decision-making and continuous quality improvement.

    2. Procurement and Supply Management (PSM) Strengthening

    • Enhance forecasting, procurement planning, and inventory management to avoid stockouts and wastage.
    • Support capacity building in supply chain logistics, warehousing, and distribution.
    • Facilitate adoption of digital tools for real-time supply chain monitoring and management.

    3. Public Financial Management (PFM) Improvement

    • Train financial managers in budgeting, expenditure tracking, and financial reporting.
    • Promote transparency and accountability through strengthened internal controls and audit processes.
    • Support alignment of financial planning with health sector priorities and donor requirements.

    4. Programme Management Enhancement

    • Build skills in strategic planning, project management, risk assessment, and stakeholder coordination.
    • Support the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and programmatic guidelines.
    • Facilitate regular programme performance reviews and adaptive management.

    Our Impact So Far

    • Trained over 300 health managers and technical staff in M&E, PSM, PFM, and programme management.
    • Supported integration of digital health information and supply chain systems in multiple health districts.
    • Improved transparency and efficiency in the use of health resources through strengthened PFM practices.
    • Enhanced programme outcomes by promoting evidence-based planning and management.

    Why This Matters

    Strong systems for monitoring, supply management, financial stewardship, and programme leadership are essential to ensure that health interventions reach those in need effectively and sustainably. Neftaly’s capacity-building approach helps health systems become more responsive, accountable, and resilient.
