Drug donations Dar es Salaam
Dear Beverly Snell,
I finished last week a joint Worldbank/Danida/Swiss Coop/Min Health
pharmaceutical sector review mission in Tanzania. Please note that
Tanzania has now an improving national drug supply system managed
by the Medical Stores Department (MSD). They supply to public and
NGO public health facilities. They supply an entire range of
pharmaceuticals (over 800 items) and have an enormous capacity to
do more than they do. Aim is to integrate all vertical programmes
and that is on its way now. MSD integrates already the supply of
all EPI items, the Dar es Salaam Urban Health Programme; Leprosy/TB
will be integrated 1/7/97. FP planning items are under negotiation.
They signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the programme partners.
MoH is against individual parallel programmes and import. Please
contact them directly:
Rino Guy Meyers (Director General)
or William Mfuko (Counterpart Director General)
