Medicine shortages 6 |6 | Regulatory decisions e.g., plant closures Insufficient manufacturing base (3 or fewer manufacturers) Market failures, including unaffordability and low-margins Competition for production capacity with higher margin products Poor visibility into demand cycles Less than full batch order quantities Poor procurement practices, eg payment and other terms Most commonly cited causes

Medicine shortages 7 |7 | Advance reporting to regulatory agencies from manufacturers Fast track regulatory assessments to manage risk of substitution Programmatic and association based reporting Compulsory licenses (eg for ARVs) Contract penalties in procurement Solutions in use for national level management

Medicine shortages 8 |8 | Who benefits from early warning systems of stringent regulatory authorities

Medicine shortages 9 |9 | Case study: global shortage of benzathine penicillin (PenG) WHO quantification in 20 countries with highest syphilis burden –4 million doses (in 2.4 MU) for adult men and women with early stage syphilis 1 and for pregnant women with active syphilis –90,000 doses of 3.8 MU for infants with premature delivery due to syphilis and infants with congenital syphilis Pen G and rheumatic heart disease –Up to 20 million doses needed for acute RH disease and continuing treatment –figures unreliable due to poor Dx, Rx and medicine consumption data Global supply is insufficient with 3 producers and repeated non- availability reports by major procurers 1 Assumptions and calculations are preliminary data from pending WHO analysis

Medicine shortages 10 | Global advance reporting systems for medicines at high risk ie manufacturers report in advance Fast track options to manage risk of substitutions along with communication approaches Harmonization of fast track regulatory reviews with information sharing Forums to identify and monitor highest risk products Model policy and legislation to promote effective management Solutions and conclusions of the meeting on managing and preventing global stock outs

Medicine shortages 11 | Regularize pricing policy to ensure that production can be realistically sustained Engage in prioritization and include models used by industry in the discussion Paradigm shifts needed in supply chain, motivation to report, and transparency In supply chain, development and exchange of quality information will take major changes –Implementation of GS1 bar coding systems as a starting point Solutions and conclusions of the meeting on managing and preventing global stock outs
