Introduction
Access to medical facilities is a basic necessity of every individual and is considered as a priority need by the World Health Organization. Nigeria has long suffered for an acute shortage of medical facilities, but now Nigeria's Federal Health Ministry (FMOH) has partnered with donors to control and fight maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) related illness, still these ailments remain to be high in Nigeria. The preterm birth, inadequate vaccination and severe infections lead to death of newborn babies. In statistics children from countries with low income group are more likely to die before they reach the age of five as compared to children from rich countries. The Newborn death rate in Nigeria is considered as the second highest in the world. The National drug policy is a central document that covers elements from the selection to distribution and use of the health care products in public and private health care facilities (Oyediran, 1981).

Research Problem
"Access to medical facilities is an integral need and basic necessity for every individual and is considered as a need that should be in priority list of governments. People in Nigeria have for long suffered with acute shortage of medical facilities due to inadequate supply of medical commodities and facilities. The research study is based on the integration of the supply chain responsible for supplying medical (MNCH) commodities and its outcomes on the MNCH services in Nigeria"

Aim of the research
The research is aimed at evaluating and assessing the outcome of integration of logistic and supply chain management of MNCH commodities on service delivery using dynamic modelling approach
