E-DRUG: Impact of HSR on management of drug supply

E-DRUG: Impact of HSR on management of drug supply
--------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

The past decade has witnessed an upsurge in the number of developing
countries that have or are considering the implementation of Reforms
in the Health Sector (HSR).

I would like to share with you ideas/opinions/experiences/
implementation problems and "the impact of HSR on the following
issues:

a) management and supply of pharmaceuticals
b) organizational structures and roles of pharmacy departments
within the reformed Ministry of Healths/Boards including academic
structures
c) decentralization of drug (other supplies ?) budgets -
responsibilities and roles of the regions/provinces/districts
d) decentralization of procurement and quantification of needs -
roles and responsibilities of the central and regional level
e) integration of logistics functions in the public health
sector : When to integrate, why and how ???
f) donor coordination with the government (Aims, strengths,
weaknesses, co-financing). What about reforms within the donor
agencies ?
h) Monitoring of pharmaceutical systems under HSR

Thank you.
