The Tanzania Medical Distribution (MSD) has entered into an agreement with the Tanzania Police Force aimed at strengthening the protection and security of health products distributed by MSD in the country. The agreement also aims to fully manage the health product transportation system and thus make it safe and ensure that health products reach health care facilities safely.
The Medical Device (MSD) has met with its Corporate Customers served by the MSD Dodoma Zone to discuss and set joint strategies to strengthen and improve the availability of health products for the special services provided by these customers.
ACCESSIBILITY OF HEALTH PRODUCTS
The Drug Store has continued to improve the availability of health products at health care facilities. The availability of health products has been measured by the health product indicator 290 but due to the strengthening of service delivery systems and the Government's intention to improve the lives of Tanzanians from the financial year 2023/24, the number of indicator products used to measure the availability of health products has increased from 290 products to 382 products.
MSD customers from Mbeya, Songwe, Rukwa, and Makete council regions are urged to use other sources of income to purchase health products from the Drug Store (MSD).
They have also been asked to pay or reduce their debts owed to MSD to give economic strength to the health product supply chain, instead of piling up their debts.
Our mission: To make quality health products accessible to all public health facilities in Tanzania.
