The efficiency of inefficiency: Medicine distribution in Sudan
Abdeen Mustafa Omer
Ministry of Health, Sudan
T
he strategy of price liberalization and privatization had been implemented in Sudan over the last decade and has had a positive
result on government deficit. The investment law approved recently has good statements and rules on the above strategy to
pharmacy regulations. Under the pressure of the new privatization policy, the government introduced radical changes in the pharmacy
regulations. To improve the effectiveness of the public pharmacy, resources should be switched towards areas of need, reducing
inequalities and promoting better health conditions. Medicines are financed either through cost sharing or full private. The role of the
private services is significant. A review of reform of financing medicines in Sudan is given in this study. Also, it highlights the current
drug supply system in the public sector, which is currently responsibility of the Central Medical Supplies Public Corporation (CMS).
In Sudan, the researchers did not identify any rigorous evaluations or quantitative studies about the impact of drug regulations on the
quality of medicines and how to protect public health against counterfeit or low-quality medicines, although it is practically possible.
However, the regulations must be continually evaluated to ensure the public health is protected against by marketing high quality
medicines rather than commercial interests and the drug companies are held accountable for their conduct.
