EPN improves how members select, procure, distribute, and store medicines to ensure access to quality products at fair prices. We actively support Drug Supply Organizations (DSOs), healthcare delivery organizations (CHAs and CHIs), and others in implementing effective selection, procurement, distribution, and storage practices, alongside Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and quality assurance (QA) systems.
Our Supply Chain and Quality Assurance program helps members access affordable, quality essential medicines. By 2025, we aim to:
-
Increase the number of members meeting supply chain standards and adopting GDP.
-
Support members in sourcing essential medicines from qualified suppliers.
-
Expand access to quality assurance (QA) information through the Minilab project.
-
Increase participation in pooled procurement programs for improved cost-efficiency.
