  3. Pharmaceutical Supply system and access to medicines Architecture Availability Affordability Adoption Access Adapted from Frost and Reich, 2008 Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  4. Frost and Reich Framework • Components include: • Architecture: systems, structures, relationships that coordinate the remaining three e.g – human resources, regulation, donor coordination; • Availability: activities that lead to medicines availability including manufacturing, forecasting, procurement, distribution and delivery; • Affordability: affordability across the supply system from government to end user; and • Adoption: processes that influence the demand for medicines, prescribing and use of medicines. Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  5. Assessment of medicines supply systems • In 2007 selected countries in AFRO decided to assess the functioning their country architecture • They had as objectives to: • map financial flows for in-country medicines procurement and distribution • provide an overview of all stakeholders involved in in-country medicines procurement and distribution • present a synopsis of in-country medicines procurement and distribution pathway • review strengths and weaknesses of existing in-country medicines supply management system Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  6. Assessment tools • WHO/AFRO and EMP developed tools to support countries' assessment • Two sets of questionnaires developed: • To map medicines financial flows & distribution • To assess medicines supply system around areas of medicines management cycle. Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  7. Mapping Results • Source: Bergis Schmidt-Ehry, GTZ Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  10. Supply system challenges (1) • Selection: • Supply outside the EML/STG still exists • Procurement of non registered medicines in countries still exists • Quantification: • CMS rarely involved in forecasting/procurement • Lack of coordination in planning between MoH/CMS and all partners results in stock-outs, shortages, overstocking and expired products • Adequate logistic information system not in place (due to the complexity of the system?)

  11. Challenges(2) • Procurement: • Managed by various partners present in country. • National system hardly in involved in program procurement Storage/stock management: • Inadequate storage capacity due to lack of coordination in procurement planning • Different stock management tools for the same product originating from different partners • Distribution: • Inadequate funds for distribution. • Uncoordinated distribution between different programs leading to high operational costs for all programs. Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  12. Challenges(3)‏ Financing: • Funds available mainly for 3 disease programs • Other areas under funded (e.g. NCD etc) • Financial figures not always available • Logistic support is under- funded Monitoring-Evaluation: • Each program may have a stand alone M&E • Different reporting tools • High burden of work for scare human resources at periphery Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  13. What can be done? Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  14. How feasible in the supply system? • Source: Bergis Schmidt-Ehry, GTZ Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  15. Benefits of coordinated supply • Platform for dialogue, information sharing and coordination • Joint M & E and reporting • Reduced workload • Health System strengthening • Timely delivery of medicines to target population • Cost savings Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  16. Expectations • Adequate funding to medicines for priority disease to support distribution of all other categories of medicines • Stock management tools for medicines from various sources streamlined • No stock outs in any health facility • Un-interrupted access to medicines! Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR

  17. Questions • Any questions? Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR
