UNOPS PSM team’s ongoing logistics management support to partners will help ensure that adequate quantities of quality drugs to treat HIV, TB and malaria are always available for patients in need.

PR-UNOPS PSM team regularly visits warehouses and storage facilities to support partners in logistics management in their implementation of the Global Fund grants. These visits help build the capacity of staff involved in store/warehouse management and distribution activities, to forecast, order, deliver, receive, store and distribute essential commodities.

The logistics support helps build the capacity of partners implementing the Global Fund grants, to use and keep forms, formats, records, reports and tools, according to the standard logistics procedures and rules.

“We are confident that the drugs we prescribe are quality drugs stored under optimal conditions with proper logistics management. We use the older drug stock first according to patients’ needs, as our regular stock recording has helped us keep track of the expiry dates,” said centre officer Dr Maw Thu Tun, who is also a store in-charge at Pyi Gyi Khin Pathein key population service centre.
