Pharmaceutical Supply system and access to medicines
Adapted from Frost and Reich, 2008
01 November 2011 Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR
Frost and Reich Framework• Components include:• Architecture: systems, structures,
relationships that coordinate the remaining three e.g – human resources, regulation, donor coordination;
• Availability: activities that lead to medicines availability including manufacturing, forecasting, procurement, distribution and delivery;
• Affordability: affordability across the supply system from government to end user; and
• Adoption: processes that influence the demand for medicines, prescribing and use of medicines.

Assessment of medicines supply systems
• In 2007 selected countries in AFRO decided to assess the functioning their country architecture
• They had as objectives to:– map financial flows for in-country medicines
procurement and distribution – provide an overview of all stakeholders involved in
in-country medicines procurement and distribution– present a synopsis of in-country medicines
procurement and distribution pathway– review strengths and weaknesses of existing in-
country medicines supply management system
01 November 2011 Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR
Assessment tools• WHO/AFRO and EMP developed
tools to support countries' assessment
• Two sets of questionnaires developed:
1. To map medicines financial flows & distribution
2. To assess medicines supply system around areas of medicines management cycle.

Supply system challenges (1)
• Selection:– Supply outside the EML/STG still exists– Procurement of non registered medicines in
countries still exists
• Quantification: – CMS rarely involved in forecasting/procurement– Lack of coordination in planning between MoH/CMS
and all partners results in stock-outs, shortages, overstocking and expired products
– Adequate logistic information system not in place (due to the complexity of the system?)
01 November 2011 Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR
Challenges (2)• Procurement:
– Managed by various partners present in country. – National system hardly in involved in program
procurement
Storage/stock management: – Inadequate storage capacity due to lack of
coordination in procurement planning– Different stock management tools for the same
product originating from different partners• Distribution:
– Inadequate funds for distribution. – Uncoordinated distribution between different
programs leading to high operational costs for all programs.
01 November 2011 Helen Tata, WHO/EMP/MAR
Challenges (3)Financing:
– Funds available mainly for 3 disease programs
– Other areas under funded (e.g. NCD etc)– Financial figures not always available– Logistic support is under- funded
Monitoring-Evaluation:– Each program may have a stand alone
M&E – Different reporting tools– High burden of work for scare human
resources at periphery

Expectations
• Adequate funding to medicines for priority disease to support distribution of all other categories of medicines
• Stock management tools for medicines from various sources streamlined
• No stock outs in any health facility
• Un-interrupted access to medicines!
