Project title<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening of CHAL with regard to procurement structures and improvement of pharmaceutical management in their health care facilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duration<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

May 2019 – present<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Health Association of Liberia (CHAL) was founded in 1975 by four Christian health facilities for the purpose of jointly procuring and distributing medicines and supplies. CHAL\u2019s first drug supply unit (DSU) operated up until the 1990s and became dormant civil war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were attempts to reactivate the DSU in 2006 with funding from IMA World Health. It was intended to be a sustainable revolving drug fund principally responsible for procuring and selling drugs and medical supplies to its constituents. In the face of a huge humanitarian operation during the war years, CHAL could not sustain its DSU because its member health facilities were given free supplies and donations by other partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the context in Liberia has changed from emergency to recovery and development. Along with this changing context, donations and free services are dried up. CHAL and its member had to face up to the reality of the changing environment and organize their services in a rational, efficient and sustainable manner. One way of doing this was to revert to a well-functioning drug supply unit (DSU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With support from Difaem through Bread for the world, CHAL reactivated its drug revolving program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achievement or solution showing impact:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Constructed and equipped a drug depot in Melekie, Gbarnga, Bong County that worth\u2026US$ 150,000.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
