Overview : Following successful engagement of UNDP in the implementation of projects funded by Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis (8 RBEC COs were PRs), as well as some ad hoc support provided with the procurement of medicine (e.g. in Turkmenistan), health procurement has been emerging as a new service line of the RBEC region during the last two years. In 2015 UNDP Ukraine paved the road for an expansion of this service line with its pioneer agreement with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. In 2016 following the drugs’ crisis in Moldova, UNDP Moldova assistance was requested by the Ministry of Health of Moldova in the area of procurement and supply chain management of essential medicines. The cooperation between UNDP and Ministries of Health (MoH) in these two countries helped to overcome corruption risks associated with public health sector procurement, as well as risk of discontinuity in the drugs supply. It has also significantly reduced delivery time, improved quality of procured medicines, vaccines and medical products as well as achieved dramatic savings for state budgets. In this vein, the proposed workshop – co-hosted by Istanbul Regional Hub and UNDP Ukraine – will offer an opportunity to (i) articulate UNDP value proposition and comparative advantage in the area; (iii) exchange CO experiences and knowledge in the area of medical procurement; (iii) discuss risks and opportunities which this new service line brings to both national partners and UNDP; and (iv) bring together various layers of UNDP (BMS (LSO, PSU, ACP); HHD BPPS; Regional Hub; CO level) to discuss coordinated and improved support for this service line.
