Dear Colleagues,

I would like to inform you about a meeting of all member states that has been called by the SADC Secretariat to discuss the operationalization of the pooled procurement strategy. In the letter from the SADC Deputy Executive Secretary for Regional Integration, Eng. João Samuel Caholo, to Ministries of Health, names of nominated participants representing the Head of Pharmaceutical Services; Head of Medical Stores; Head of Medicines Regulatory Affairs and Legal Advisors were supposed to be submitted by the 9th of September 2013. Part of the text of the invitation was as follows:

“We write to inform you that Ministers of Health and Ministers Responsible for HIV and AIDS during their meeting held in Maputo, Mozambique in 2012, they approved the SADC Strategy for Pooled Procurement of Essential Medicines and Health Commodities. In view of this, the SADC Secretariat are convening a workshop to operationalize the establishment of the e-platforms and its management. The scheduled workshop will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 23rd – 27th September 2013.

The objectives of the workshop will be to:

i). Establishment of the functional medicines information and work sharing e-platforms;

ii). Develop the draft implementation plan of the; and

iii). Establish the coordination mechanism for Pooled Procurement Strategy.”

In order to facilitate discussions and make the meeting a success, as well as speed up the implementation of the strategy, focal persons are requested to work with nominees to the meeting so that they bring with them relevant information necessary for sharing on the e-platform according to the attached Excel file. Some nominees may be contacted directly by the SADC Secretariat regarding the information.

Should you need assistance or any clarification, please contact Geoffrey Ngwira at geof...@sarpam.net or Adi Eyal at a...@sarpam.net.

Best wishes,

Geoffrey Ngwira

Good morning,

We are desperate in need of Clofazamine 100mg tablets for XDR patients. We have sent out several requests for quotations without success. We therefore request your assistance in providing the source for this product if by any chance you are also using it?

Dear Colleagues,

Kindly check if your country is procuring Clofazimine tablets and link our Botswana colleagues with the source of the product. If it coming as a donation, kindly proceed and link them up with the development partner so that the source can be accessed. Time in the case of XDR TB is of the essence.

Thanking you in anticipation.
