Unmet Need in Essential Medicines and Health Supplies in Ugandan Public Health Facilities.
REFNo: SS886ES
Our first research aims to assess the effect of shortages of selected medicines and health supplies on patients on patients in district-level MOH facilities
The following objectives will facilitate the achievement of this aim:
1. To collect data from health facility registers in order to list 100% of prescriptions written at a representative sample of MOH health facilities over 3 National Medical Stores distribution cycles.
2. To calculate how often filled, unfilled and modified prescriptions affect 100% of patients within selected districts over a 6-month time period, or 3 (as sheduled) National Medical Stores (NMS) cycles, depending on which is longer
3. To compare and contrast the availability of 59 essential medicines throughout each NMS distribution cycles
4. To compare health supply patterns for when medicines are in stock vs. out of stock and describe differences in functioning between medicines and health supplies over 3 NMS cycles.
5. To design and pilot a template approach to tracking data over a six-month period, in order to support continuous improvement in health systems in Uganda.
Our second research aim is to share data on the extent of medicine and health supply shortages with Uganda’s MOH and other stakeholders in order to inform corrective action The following objectives will facilitate the achievement of this aim:
1. To analyse the extent of medicine and health supply shortages within health facilities in MOH over a period of 6 months
2. To provide recommendations that may influence decisions that improve medicine and health supply management, benefit patients, and can be scaled to other regions.
