E-DRUG: Privatization of drug supply organizations
----------------------------------------------
Dear e-drug readers,
I am writing a paper on the privatization of the public medicine
supply organizations. I would like to know experiences of other
developing countries in managing their public medical supplies
organizations. Those who live in countries that have already
privatized their previously publicly owned organizations are kindly
requested to report the impact of the privatization on the availablity
of essential medicines in public health facilities.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. Jamal;
Good luck with your paper. So far I don't think any of the developing countries was able to privatize their drug supply. However, you should log on to the WHO site at www.who.net. Or the www.msh.org. you should be able to get some answers from them.

Actually, Tanzania has privatized its drug supply.
The privatized organization is operated by a Mr. Ramadan Madibida.
Perhaps a Google search on Tanzania and procurement will reveal this.

[There is some information about Tanzania in a presentation made at the SEAM conference. Look at Track 6 in Targeting Improved Access at Accra in June 2005

Other e-druggers might have more information. BS]

Hi!
I would like to clarify that the person mentioned in the earlier message, concerning Tanzania, is running a privately owned manufacturing plant and not a drug supply organisation.

Dear Gamal,
The national policy in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) aims to promote the creation of 30 to 40 regional central medical stores throughout the country. They will all be privately owned by not-for-profit organisations. They will enter in an agreement/contract with the national governement to supply drugs, medical and laboratory supplies for a defined period of time (5 years).
At present five of these central medical stores have been created and are
functional.
