Project rationale;• Uganda is a low income country with a GDP per
capita of US $ 430 and 31% of the population leaves below the poverty line.
• Demand for Essential Medicines and Health Supplies far exceeds supply. Less than half of the population obtains their medicines in the public sector
• HSSP III has prioritised increase in access to medicines and other health supplies.
• The National Medical Stores (NMS) is to be strengthening during the implementation of HSSP III. This is guided by the National Pharmaceutical Sector Strategic Plan (NPSSP II).
• Glaring infrastructural and human resource constraints exist:
– Limited monitoring and supervision, poor record management, infrastructural challenges in transport, communication and access to basic utilities at health centres
• UNHCO and HEPS will assess the extent to which resources allocated to the health sector affect delivery of medicines
