Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG), along with PharmAccess, a nonprofit organization that utilizes a digital platform to improve healthcare in Africa, launched the Medicines for All (Med4All) initiative in 2019. Med4All is a digital supply chain platform that connects trusted Ghanaian pharmaceutical companies and importers to healthcare providers to supply affordable and good quality medicines. The goal of Med4All is to address quality, access, and cost issues associated with CHAG's supply chain system and solve funding gaps by making medicines affordable.
