Faith-based sector

Tanzania, which investigated supply chains from local producers and importers into the health sector. Qualitative interviews and quantitative data collection on availability, somce and price of a checklist of tracer medicines and other essential supplies were conducted in hoth countries. In Tanzania, 42 health facilities (public, faith-based and private), pharmacies and drug shops across four very diverse districts were visited (Tibandebage et al., 2014), while in Kenya, 55 health facilities, pharmacies and shops were interviewed in a comparative study (Kariuki et al., 2015). Following these supply chain studies, wholesalers, manufacturers and poUcy and regulatory stakeholders were interviewed in both countries in 2013-14. This chapter draws also on some of these interviews, alongside secondary data somces. [Pg.149]

Our supply chain data (Table 8.1) show that the public sector wholesaler in each country had bought a higher proportion of the tracer essential medicines from local manufacturers than had the private wholesalers. The faith-based wholesaler in Kenya (MEDS) was the most likely of all to source these medicines locally. All Kenyan wholesale sectors, furthermore, were more likely than their Tanzanian counterparts to buy these essential medicines from their local manufacturers (Table 8.1). Finally, while Tanzania buyers sourced medicines from Kenya ( other African for Tanzania in Table 8.1 is largely Kenyan), the Kenyan buyers bought little from non-Kenyan African suppliers. [Pg.151]

Now, these disaggregated linkages need to be substantially and collab-oratively rebuilt, and then sustained in a very open market environment. For this purpose, there is a highly important role for government. Key policy objectives should be to institute and enforce measures to enhance medicines access through public and faith-based facilities in the health sectors within both countries, and to shift procurement incentives towards encouraging purchasing from local suppliers. [Pg.163]
