National PSM Coordination Mechanism Dr Vincent Habiyambere WHO/HIV Department AIDS Medicines & Diagnostics Service (AMDS) Bangkok, July 2005

2 AMDS Background 6 M people need ART but only 12% have access to it: 1 M in June 2005: significant progress compared in December This was possible thanks to national and international commitment: the GFATM, bilateral (PEPFAR, ESTHER, DFID, CIDA, etc.), Multilateral (MAP, TAP, WB, etc.), civil society, etc. Scale-up of the number of people on ART to reach the 3 by 5 Target: Overstretches not only the health systems but also the national procurement and supply management (PSM) systems Introduces the concept of "full supply" required for the treatment of acute and chronic care: over 100 commodities needed for the management of HIV/AIDS. Offers opportunities to improve the national PSM systems and to increase access to essential drugs: ex. TB and malaria drugs. There are many stakeholders operating at global, regional, national and sub-national levels Hence the need for coordination or at least collaboration.
