Sangeeta Raja and Nadeem Mohammad ACTafrica, HNP (2005) C1
The handbook on supply chain management for HIV/AIDS commodities was written to assist program managers to plan <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> implement day–to-day management of all drugs <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> medical supplies for an HIV/AIDS program. Many of the suggested techniques described in this handbook are helpful to program managers starting to plan or scale-up provision of drugs <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> supplies for a HIV/AIDS program. Additionally, some of the information may be helpful to readers who are implementing a new program <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> may not have robust logistics systems in place. For other readers, this handbook may serve as a checklist of systems <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> procedures that need to be in place in order to manage the many of the health commodities required for the HIV/AIDS program.
