[e-drug] joint drug basket experiences in Africa?

E-DRUG: drug basket experiences in Africa?
------------------------------------------

dear E-druggers,

Procuring essential drugs with donor funds often results in parallel procurement systems that are not building capacity in Africa. Which E-druggers have experience and can describe their positive/negative experiences with "joint drug baskets" where both the MOH and the donors put all their resources into one joint system?

I have heard about Mozambique and Uganda being good examples? Other countries?

Your E-drug moderator is in Zambia and (with a different hat) is trying to assist the MOH Zambia to set up such a system. All experiences are welcome at wjb@wxs.nl or (if of general interest) to e-drug@healthnet.org

kind regards

Wilbert Bannenberg
