Abstract
To quickly and effectively, estimate the
medications needed to treat sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) and AIDS-related infections over a five year period,
procure the drugs on international tender and survey drug
availability among facilities before and after the procured
medications arrive in country and are distributed. The
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Prevention and Care
Project in Zimbabwe has decreased costs for pharmaceuticals
by 60 percent and increased the availability of STI drug in
health facilities from 68 percent to 89 percent within the
first two years of the project.
