E-DRUG:  Reducing stockouts as well as burden of expired items (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, Colleagues

Efficient use of the limited available funds for drug
financing is premised on maximal reduction of wastage
(expired products, spoilage and pilferage) through a
sincere and careful planning, execution and mointoring
of drug selection, quantification, procurement, storage,
distribution and usage. The key "mesh" that wire these
processes together include the professional
determination and sincerity which is embedded in the
overall vision of ensuring equity, accessibility 
(geographic and economic) and sustainability of public drug supply in
resource-limited setting. 

Furthermore, a thorough situation analysis using S.W.O.T and a functional drug management information system is a sine-qua-non of an efficient and patient-friendly public drug supply system.
