Statement of Work
Purpose: Provide consultancy in assessing the warehouse and distribution and Inventory Management of health commodities in Zanzibar
Provider(s): TBD
Period of Performance: February, March, and April 2021
Place of Performance: Virtual STTA
1. Background
The Ministry of Health Social Welfare, Gender Elderly and Children (MOHSWGEC) in Zanzibar embarked on the reform process from the beginning of 1990’s and this became fully fledged in the early 2000’s. The Geographical health infrastructure in Zanzibar has been distributed into primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health care services. The distribution allows good access to primary services to 95% of the population living within or less than 5km to the nearest public health facility.
The health supply chain in Zanzibar spans from the Central level (MOHSWGEC, Programs, CMS) to the downstream (Hospitals, PHCU+ and PHCU) over which execution of supply chain activities demands the presence of a well-trained workforce. Central Medical Stores (CMS) is responsible for procurement of commodities in collaboration with the Procurement Unit of the MOHSWGEC. The CMS is also responsible to store and distribute commodities to all public health facilities. Over time there have been efforts to improve inventory management and warehouse infrastructure at CMS, these includes the establishment of the current WIB at Unguja and building of the new warehouse in Pemba including strengthening the cold storage system. Efforts have also included implementation various logistics systems such as the of the Zanzibar Integrated Logistics System (ZILS), TB and Leprosy medicines logistics system, and the Laboratory logistics system.
Based on its role, CMS is a key player in the health supply chain in Zanzibar. CMS delivers medicines, medical supplies and laboratory reagents direct to about 167 health facilities. Orders from health facilities are made electronically to CMS using the eLMIS. CMS uses mSupply as a program to run its business operations.
Whilst a lot has been achieved to date to improve warehouse and distribution, there are still a lot to unveil and provide the relevant recommendations and improvement support to ensure that there is adequate warehousing and distribution and inventory management of health commodities in Zanzibar.
The MOHSWGEC is currently undertaking a holistic review of the health supply chain in Zanzibar in order to identify and address challenges in entire system as part of strategies to improve management of health commodities and ensuring 100% stock availability of essential medicines in all health facilities in the country. The scope of the review includes assessing and providing recommendation on the warehousing practices and infrastructure at both central (CMS) and health facilities. It also includes assessing the current health commodities distribution process and recommend the needed improvements for gaining efficiencies. In building up recommendations for warehouse and distribution improvement in addition to the assessment observations there will be a need to incorporate findings and recommendations from other modules like, human resource, procurement and financing and costing.
