Access to medicines in the context of the right-to-health framework 2013, para. 47
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Efficient and transparent procurement of medicines is central to ensuring the availability of medicines in sufficient quantities in all public health facilities. Procurement of medicines occurs at the international, national, regional and local levels. Inefficiencies of procurement at each level can cause unreliable medicine supplies and higher costs. An efficient procurement system is one that relies on transparent management, a limited drug selection that is based on a restricted list (for example, NEML), accurate and scientific forecasting of need, competitive tendering, bulk purchasing, pre-qualification of proposed suppliers and close monitoring of selected suppliers, and reliable financing. The Special Rapporteur is pleased to note that most States that responded to his questionnaire have formulated national medicine procurement policies.
