Published purpose

The project aims to support the Kinshasa Central Agency for the Purchase and Distribution of Essential Medicine (CAMESKIN) in order to improve the supply of quality essential generic drugs for the entire territory of the Kinshasa province. It focuses on encouraging better access to quality essential medicines for low-income patients through lower prices. The project also strengthens the capacity of intermediate stakeholders (health centers, hospitals) in making the products available to the population through the public health system. To achieve this, the project provides training in pharmaceutical management and contributes to the development of a marketing plan. The main activities include the purchase of quality essential medicines to strengthen the working capital of CAMESKIN as well as institutional support to the Central Agency, allowing its access to financial viability.
