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.
