E-DRUG: Private Hospital facility-Pharmaceutical Management
------------------------------------------------------

hello E-Druggers!
I'm searching for publications (guidelines, tools, standard operating
procedures, policy brief etc) on private health facility/hospital
pharmaceutica management. My interest is related to private hospital (i)
pharmaceutical procurement, (ii) supply, (iii) store management (iv)
documentation and (v) dispensing. This information will help me learn how
efficiency and effectiveness (on the mention parameters) can be improved and
consequenty value for money for private hospital and at the same time ensure
patient get high quality medicine at affordable price.

Furthermore, i would like get any assessment tools which have been
development to assess problems and ways to improve pharmaceutica management
at *health facility level*.

If you any of the valuabe publication/tool please share it with me and other
e-druggers.

thanks

Dear Mwemezi,
This will be a good study, specially in the context in which the study will be set. May I suggest an addition to your list of areas to consider? I would recommend that you also consider compliance issues, such as compliance by private practices to say, national treatment guidelines, national policies, etc. I think it will be very instructive, in this age of global health strategies, to establish to what extent there is good working relationship between the national institutions (which sets, and is responsible for, the health policy agenda), and those in the private sector (and indeed in the public sector) who have to comply to and apply the national strategies.

Regards, and best wishes,
Bonnie
