Root cause analysis underscores the importance of understanding, addressing, and communicating cold chain equipment failures to improve equipment performance

Root cause analysis underscores the importance of understanding, addressing, and communicating cold chain equipment failures to improve equipment performance☆

Vaccine cold chain equipment (CCE) in developing countries is often exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and humidity, and is subject to many additional challenges, including intermittent power supply, insufficient maintenance capacity, and a scarcity of replacement parts. Together, these challenges lead to high failure rates for refrigerators, potentially dam...
