The objectives of the meeting were:

  • To review the EPN access guidelines on effective and efficient pharmaceutical services in church health services,
  • To discuss and agree on the draft global report of the multi-country study on faith-based DSOs and develop the recommendations,
  • To develop a plan of action to strengthen drug supply activities in the Network, based on the recommendations of the study and the EPN guidelines.
This meeting led to the development of the DSO project of the EPN Access programme.

Among the outputs of the feedback meeting was the identification of the characteristics of a functioning DSO that could be measured and thus lead to indicators of change. You can find these characteristics in the feedback report, or click here.
