E-DRUG: Tanzania, Iramba Health Supply Chain Goes from Failing to Model System
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[From the story (not a report), the main factors to support improvement appear to have been finding incentives to improve reporting and supporting appropriate reporting - this increased reporting from 2% to 100%. Support for record keeping and tracking of finances were also implemented. DB]
Dear E-Druggers,
In 2009, key staff at Tanzania's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare
(MOHSW) and Medical Stores Department (MSD) declared the council health
management team (CHMT) of the Iramba district to be one of the poorest
performing teams in the country in the stock management of medicines and
supplies. Today, Iramba has been named a center of excellence for health
commodity management by the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT and the Supply Chain
Management System project.
