Study of pharmaceutical services in Zambia

In order to assess opportunities and challenges for the Zambian pharmaceutical system in purchasing and distributing pharmaceuticals, the EU Delegation to Zambia required a comprehensive assessment of the current situation.
The objective of the study was to: 1) carry out a comprehensive analysis of the pharmaceutical subsector, including an in depth assessment of economic aspects, logistics systems, information technology and regulatory capacity; 2) assess the opportunity for EU support in one or several of the mentioned areas; 3) identify themes that need to be followed up in the policy dialogue.
