E-DRUG: New World Medicines Situation Chapter Procurement of Medicines
------------------------------------------------------------------
To all E-Druggers,
I am pleased to announce the publication of a new World Medicines Situation
chapter on Procurement of Medicines. The chapter has been written by Todd
Dickens from PATH in Seattle in Washington State in the USA.
To download the chapter go to
http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/m/abstract/Js18769en/ .
The abstract reads:
- Public sector health-care procurement systems can play an important role
in helping countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals;
- Public sector procurement of medicines in developing countries occurs
mainly at two levels > -> the national level and the international level >
-> with multilateral agencies playing an increasingly significant role.
However a number of countries have chosen to decentralize their national
procurement process as part of health sector reforms or in an effort to meet
local needs through increased local involvement, accountability and
flexibility;
- At the national level, developing countries are faced with increasing
tasks and responsibilities for procurement of quality medicines, but often
have limited financial resources, procurement capacity, and regulatory
capacity for meeting these obligations;
- At the international level, efforts by bilateral donor and multilateral
agencies to address these limitations and support access to medicines
include: new funding, procurement and pricing mechanisms; supporting
prequalification systems for selected medicines to address limited quality
assurance capacity at the national level; and strengthening country
procurement systems;
- There is increased global recognition of the continuing need to strengthen
developing country health-care procurement systems through a comprehensive,
system-wide approach to capacity building.
