Fenet Gemechu

I manage pharmaceutical supply-chain operations across procurement, forecasting, inventory control, storage, distribution, and stock accountability. At Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF-Holland), I managed project medical stock and administered the receipt, storage, and issuance of medical supplies and food items under MSF pharmaceutical standards.

At Adama Hospital Medical College, I led pharmaceutical supply management and warehouse operations, supervising 16 staff while planning medication needs, negotiating with suppliers, monitoring expiry dates, reducing waste, and supporting medication distribution. I also contributed to teaching, research, pharmacy operations, and national supply-chain guidelines and standard operating procedures.

I'm currently coordinating training, events, logistics, reporting, stakeholder communication, documentation, and administrative follow-up for the Ethiopian Freight Forwarders and Shipping Agents Association. With a Bachelor of Pharmacy, an M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management, and more than nine years of experience, I want to strengthen vaccine and immunization supply chains in Ethiopia.
