2020 TB TREATMENT

102. When negotiating grants, encourage countries to address health product management and domestic procurement challenges that may negatively affect the procurement of quality, affordable health products, including the procurement of small volume or small market products, such as pediatric DS and DRTB drugs.

103. Continue to use a flexible approach in the implementation of the co-financing policy, particularly related to small volume, small market products that might be more challenging to procure effectively via domestic procurement.

 

104. With partners, support and encourage countries to adequately prepare to procure small volume, small market products as they increase their role in domestic procurement and encourage the use of international pooled procurement platforms. In alignment with recommendations from the United Nations High Level Meeting on Tuberculosis in 2018, encourage the use of STBP/GDF when countries are unable to efficiently procure such products directly from suppliers.
