Fresh off the third African conference on operations and supply chain management in Kigali, Rwanda, the Supply Chain Maestro is back to catch us up on the latest in medical supply chain research - and much more. Co-hosts Scott Luton and Jenny Froome sit down with PhD student and supply chain expert Ramatu Abdulkadir to discuss top supply chain challenges facing the African continent, including food logistics, the rising cost of transportation, and electoral logistics, as well as changing attitudes toward professional experience in the field. As we look to overcome vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, the question remains: given all the challenges, does supply chain management still present an attractive career option? Hear what Scott, Jenny, and Ramatu think when you tune in to this thoughtful discussion.
