Procurement and supply management are key elements of the grants of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria managed by UNDP and other partners in Guinea Bissau. PSM is the central actor of the Ministry of Health for the storage and distribution of health commodities in Guinea Bissau. The supplies for the three diseases may cater for up to 40% of the total volume of supplies handled in the public sector.
The last years have been marked by a dramatic increase of total volumes of health commodities handled by PSM. At the same time there have been plans to improve the handling capacity of this supply chain with the development of a new central warehouse in Bissau.
The lack of sufficient space at existing stores for storage and handling of supplies is affecting capacity and quality of operations and hampering the efforts of PSM to provide quality logistics services.
UNDP financed the Master Plan for PSM which describes requirements, layout and overall structure for the development of a central store.
UNDP-GF provides an active support to this process financing for this development, which is for a new PSM central medical stores in Bissau. For dispatch operations, with truck-bay and cold room, a new office floor and a new gate for outgoing trucks and picking and packing area.
