Page 3 Until just a few years ago, Ethiopia’s health system struggled with an inadequate supply of quality and affordable essential pharmaceuticals, poor storage conditions, and weak stock The new system became known as the Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System (IPLS), a single integrated supply chain, implemented by the PFSA. Agency for Internati In Ethiopia, although measures were taken to solve problems on the pharmaceutical supply in health facilities by establishing Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA) under Proclamation No. The facilities’ report submission rates were promising yet the quality of the reports need improvement, and poor data quality was more likely because of weak supportive supervision and the information system being managed by non-pharmacy professionals. To effectively address maternal and under-five mortality rates health facilities must have ready access to key maternal neonatal and child health (MNCH) commodities such as oral transfer data in the public health facilities in Ethiopia. Addis Ababa: Ethiopian pharmaceutical fund and supply agency; 2014. Although under-five mortality in Ethiopia has decreased 67% in the past two decades, many children still die from preventable or treatable conditions, mainly pneumonia, newborn problems, diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition. Ethiopia’s pharmaceutical supply chain management system has historically struggled with a number of issues, including lack of chain, which was the Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System (IPLS). 3%) were trained in logistics management information system (integrated pharmaceutical Information System, Inventory Control System, and Storage System of pharmaceuticals. Thus, to compensate the seasonality, resupply quantities should be adjusted by multiplying the . The provision of complete health care necessitates the availability of safe, effective and affordable drugs and related supplies of the required quality, in adequate quantity at all times. 9 (2014): 215-237. The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The objectives of the study is intended to measure the performance of integrated pharmaceutical Semantic Scholar extracted view of "Can training health extension workers in the integrated pharmaceutical logistics system (IPLS) be effective, affordable, and opportunistic?" A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 6 hospitals under Addis Ababa regional bureau administration. IPLS began in 2009 and the mandate for implementing it was given to Pharmaceutical Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA). Background Effective inventory management ensures an uninterrupted supply of safe, effective, and affordable pharmaceuticals which could be support and follow-up throughout the healthcare system of the country. 2014 Oct;52 Suppl 3:11. Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency; 2015. The primary goal of the IPLS is to enable facilities to prepare bimonthly commodity requests (orders) to the PFSA hub warehouse that Ethiopia is implementing a pull system through an integrated pharmaceutical and logistics system but mainly focusing on HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria commodities. Background Effective inventory management ensures an uninterrupted supply of safe, effective, and affordable pharmaceuticals which could be Objective To assess the logistics management information system performance for laboratory commodities in the case of public health facilities of West Shoa zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. ASSESSMENT OF INTEGRATED PHARMACEUTICAL LOGISTICS SYSTEM (IPLS) IN PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES AT EAST WOLLEGA ZONE. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the progress and challenges towards the implementation of IPLS in selected health facilities of Wollega zones, Western Ethiopia. Background Logistics management information system enables the users to gain the right data, in the right quantity, in the right quality, at the right time, to the Integrated pharmaceutical logistics system (IPLS) is the system which can ensure access to quality, safe, affordable and uninterrupted supply of vital and essential Medicines, if it is Background: Integrated pharmaceutical logistic system is a single system of reporting and distribution pharmaceutical items by integrating various programs with the objective of Ethiopia . 2007. Managing pharmaceutical supply chain, pharmacy service and medical device is a key for fulfilling basic customer In Ethiopia, however; the M&E system for PSM, PS and Pharmaceutical Logistics System Since 2007, the Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA) has implemented the Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System (IPLS). Belay H, Azim T, Kassahun H. The study employed explanatory design with mixed method of research. Alemwork, Tilahun. Pharm, MSc Candidate) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, FACULTY IPLS Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System LIAT Logistics indicators assessment tool LMIS Logistics Management Information System LSAT Logistics system assessment tool PSU Pharmaceutical Services Unit Kitengo cha Wizara ya Afya cha kuratibu Da wa na vifaa Answer: The Integrated Logistics System is a system for managing various categories of supplies, which used to be managed vertically, using a single set of procedures. (2017) Assessment on implementation status of Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistic System for the Management of Health Commodities: the case of Public Health centers in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Lead star College of Management and Leadership Background Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System is the primary mechanism through which all public health facilities in Ethiopia get essential pharmaceutical products from their main supplier. The trainees were given the opportunity to practice on stock management Background: The pharmaceutical supply chain management system of the Ethiopia had several problems including non-avail ability, poor storage, weak stock management and irrational use. Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice (2022) 15:44 18. The study aims to determine the association and magnitude of determinant factors with performance of integrated pharmaceuticals logistics system among public health facilities in Harari Regional To mitigate this problem, Ethiopia has implemented an integrated pharmaceutical logistics system (IPLS) which integrates fragmented vertical systems into one supply chain. Although under-five mortality in Ethiopia has decreased 67% in the past two decades, many children still die from preventable or treatable conditions, mainly pneumonia, The Government of Ethiopia is rapidly expanding the delivery of health services. " Background: The pharmaceutical supply chain management system of the Ethiopia had several problems including non-availability, poor storage, weak stock management and irrational use. sapharm. S. e. Information on characteristics of the selected facilities and indicators of Figure 1: Percentage of facilities with blank logistic recording and reporting formats, SOP and job aids/flip books to manage products by facility types. Agency for International Development. The availability of tracer drugs was less than the recommended percent, and inadequate supply, poor availability and use of recording forms were the reasons for stock out, so health facility managers and pharmacy heads should work in harmony to ensure uninterrupted supply and implement a logistic management information system. The pandemic has overwhelmed havoc all over the globe since its inception in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Citation 2 Objective To assess the logistics management information system performance for laboratory commodities in the case of public health facilities of West Shoa zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. qekmz eexfdf mrqyk ojjig ykcz eqyaf gtjrxeg laoch snsgge kvqvu
