Ensuring the availability of essential medicines in public health facilities is crucial for achieving universal health coverage. In India, limited access to medicines at the public health facilities remains a significant challenge contributing to high out-of-pocket expenditures and financial hardship, particularly among lower-income populations. Stockouts and inefficiencies in supply chain management further hinder timely access to critical treatments.
At HSTP, we work to address these systemic challenges by strengthening supply chain management and improving the availability of essential medicines in the public health facilities. Through rigorous research, development of knowledge products and generation of data-driven insights, we inform and support evidence-based programmatic decisions to enhance equitable access to medicines.
