Webinar on Subnational Procurement for MNCH Medical Products
Published : December 13, 2023
Although making quality medical products available and affordable is typically the responsibility of national government procurement and supply agencies, many low- and middle-income countries have decentralized the procurement of health commodities—including those for maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH)—in response to political decentralization reform or challenges with centrally controlled health product supply.
On December 7, 2023, USAID MTaPS hosted a webinar to:
- Discuss the importance of subnational procurement, especially for MNCH products
- Present findings from a study conducted to assess local procurement practices in Nepal
- Introduce MTaPS’ recent global guidance document, A Guide to Best Practices in Subnational Procurement of MNCH Commodities in the Public Sector
- Highlight subnational procurement practices and experiences in different country contexts
