In your sub-county health centers, do think the branding of government medicines has reduced the theft of medicine?
BACKGROUND
Government has a duty to
supply essential medicine to all its health centers; however a big
percentage of these medicines are leaked out of the system hence
depriving the intended beneficiaries.To avert this, the Anti
Corruption Coalition in Uganda in their advocacy report recommended
the branding of government medicines to avoid rampant theft.
This was later implemented where all tablets, boxes and tins
were branded. However with time, some tablets are no longer branded
but only the tins, thus enabling the fraudsters to put the medicine
in different tins that were not branded and selling these drugs to
the unsuspecting public. (The Independent Thursday, 08
November 2012)
