Dear Colleagues,
The Procurement & Supply Management Toolbox website (http://www.psmtoolbox.org ) is a WHO / AMDS repository of tools for health professionals, medical and pharmacy students and consultants working on PSM and several health/pharmacy related areas worldwide. WHO/AMDS collaborates with i+solutions which is implementing the project on a contractual basis. The database now contains 185 English and 62 French PSM tools and resource documents for ARVs, TB & malaria medicines and several other health commodities. Links to tool translations into Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian have been mentioned where available.
The website has recently been updated and now includes:
1) A tool comparison feature which enables you to compare up to 3 tool descriptions on one page. This makes it easier to decide which tool respond the most to your specific technical needs.
2) My PSM tools - an option to save tools that you want to access regularly e.g. to see if the document has been updated. The tools you add to your personal PSM Toolbox will be saved as long as you wish.
3) New tool: the first WHO Model Formulary for Children has been added to the PSM Toolbox.
If you want to propose a tool for inclusion in the database, you can do so using the following link:

An offline version of the PSM Toolbox to be used without internet connection is available free of charge to developing countries. If you would like to receive a Toolbox USB stick, please send an e-mail to:
