Procurement, Quality Assurance & Control, and Distribution Costing Study [Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services Program]
June 2013 - May 2014Overview
WDI is implementing research in Kenya and Benin to identify the structural and operational costs associated with the distribution of key products used in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria including long lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs), rapid diagnostics tests (RDTs), and artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs). Analysis of in-country costs will be used to develop an extrapolative model. The model may be used by countries to more accurately estimate and budget for the costs of using the public sector health system to procure, deliver, and monitor the quality of key malaria products.
