South Africa: Press Releases

Health technology innovation to improve access and availability of essential medicines in South Africa Johannesburg, South Africa—Management Science for Health (MSH), an international nonprofit dedicated to saving lives by building strong health systems in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities, today presented the government of South Africa with the source code for RxSolution®, an electronic pharmaceutical management system designed to manage medicine supplies from procurement to dispensing.

MSH is deeply saddened by the loss of Nelson Mandela (“Madiba”), South Africa’s iconic first black president who fought to overthrow the oppression of apartheid. Madiba’s unwavering commitment to reconciliation, peace, and human dignity were hallmarks of his  legendary “long walk to freedom.” In 1993, he shared the Nobel Peace Prize. In later years after his retirement, Mandela revealed that his son and daughter-in-law had died due to HIV & AIDS and became a courageous advocate, defying the government’s denial of the epidemic.

Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the US Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Building Local Capacity (BLC) for Delivery of HIV Services in Southern Africa Project.The project will strengthen local and regional systems to respond more effectively to the HIV & AIDS epidemic.

Under the AIDSTAR Sector II Program, MSH will lead a partnership to build the leadership and management capacity of governments and NGOs worldwide.
