The serious medical supply problems confronting the health sector in Papua New Guinea required technical assistance to build an empowered system that could develop rationalised pharmaceutical policies, regulate medicines and medical products, and manage the supply chain for the public health sector.
The reform was initiated with the implementation of functional units dealing with medical supplies within the National Department of Health (NDoH).
The technical assistance consists in providing leadership, operational management and continuous capacity building to the Procurement Unit of the NDoH.
