E-DRUG: Need For Information About Possible Funding Agencies
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Republic of Cameroon.
We are a Christian non-profit making organization operating in the
Republic of Cameroon. We have a central drugs and medical supplies
distribution centre (a Central Pharmacy) which distributes to two big
hospitals and fifteen health centers in five of the ten provinces of
the country.
In the past few years, we have experienced some interesting increase
in the number of patients visiting our health facilities. With this
increase in patient needs, there is a consequent increase in demand
for more regular, safe, good quality and effective drugs.
Our supply of drugs and medical supplies has been from different
European suppliers in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and
England. Currently, we are handling an inventory of about 2,000 items
in drugs and medical supplies. This task has increasingly been
difficult and we are in the process of introducing a dependable
inventory software and Drug Management Information System (DMIS). We
have had a couple of correspondences with the Euro Health Group
concerning Inventory Software and DMIS; this has reached a point where
we can not continue because of lack of funding for the kind of project
they want to propose.
Do you know of any funding agency, be it local or international, that
we can contact for sponsorship or any other support? Do you have any
experience in Pharmacy Software or DMIS to share with us ? We would be
very grateful to hear from you and to share our own experience in
managing Essential Drugs Supply in Cameroon with you.
Please do not hesitate to contact us through our address mentioned
below if you do have any information for us or you do need to know
more about us.
Thanks in advance for your kind and timely response.
