THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ON DISTRIBUTION

Effective treatment of HIV/AIDS requires a rapid, regular and reliable supply of medicines and other commodities. Orders for medicines and other commodities must be filled on-time and in full to build confidence and full participation in the system by all, including funders, program managers, clinicians and patients. Only fully functioning distribution systems—including appropriate planning, technology, storage and transport—can provide such rapid, regular and reliable supply and support a rapid scale-up of HIV/AIDS services.


Through effective distribution practices:

  • The pharmaceutical supply chain becomes a self-perpetuating, constantly improving system.
  • People with HIV/AIDS get the services and high-quality products they need and have confidence in their health system.
  • Public health overall improves due to increased use of health services.

Please share your insights and resources related to successes and challenges in distributing HIV/AIDS commodities.

      “The provision and securing of a reliable drug supply chain is a key element in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Only when it can be ensured that the genuine drugs go from the factories that make them to the clinics and hospitals that use them can global aid organizations effectively respond to the huge increases in demand.”
