Enhancing Public Sector Distribution of Essential Medicines Through Improved Information Sharing
2010 - 2011Overview
WDI, together with its partners, researched the feasibility and effectiveness of improved information flows in the public sector as a method to ensure consistent stocking of essential medicines throughout Zambia. Such distribution enhancements ensure quantities of medicines consumed at the clinic level are recorded and, using an appropriate restocking algorithm, optimal quantities of medicines are shipped back to the clinic.
