The social value of cold chain equipment
This report was commissioned by B Medical Systems, a manufacturer of cold chain refrigeration units, to measure the social value of their cold chain units. The state of Kano in Nigeria was selected as the geographic area of focus. Kano, Nigeria was selected as a case study to estimate the social value of a single B Medical Systems cold chain unit. Drawing from the case study in Kano, Nigeria, investing in a single B Medical Systems cold chain unit could result in over $4.4 million (PPP) over the next ten years. Simultaneously, the immeasurable value of that cold chain can only be explained to be central to improved public health and socio-economic development.
Vaccine cold chain in Kenya
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has been assisting the Government of Kenya in the area of immunization and health development since 2001 through its Cold Chain Equipment Optimization Platform (CCEOP). This white paper analyzes the implementation of the CCEOP project by B Medical Systems, which also included trainings for local agencies and the Ministry of Health technicians and the performance of the 469 vaccine cold chain equipment installed across the country.
Cold chain social value
In 2016, researchers estimated that vaccines would save $544 billion in illness costs and $1.43 trillion in broader economic benefits in GAVI eligible countries alone. According to these figures, immunization programs have the highest return on investment of any development initiative. To evaluate the inherent social value of a single cold chain unit, two case studies were undertaken, the findings of which are detailed within this white paper. The first case study was conducted by surveying 245 health centers in Kano, Nigeria. The second case study used data on 1,632 solar direct drive (SDD) cold chain equipment from over 5,000 surveys collected across Nigerian healthcare centers.
