Strong system for supply chain management (SCM) in healthcare is one of the fundamentals for enhancing population health and attaining Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3.8).

Current situation on efforts taken to manage national supply chain of medicines and health commodities including contraceptives has some gaps and obstacles related to regulatory limitations, public procurement rules, storage, transportation and inadequate management or lack of transparency of all SCM cycles.

Regulatory documents and tools for all supply chain management cycles in Kyrgyzstan are not institutionalized by the Ministry of Health, and are either introduced into some vertical programs, or are underway towards an organized and structured phase of supply chain management including contraceptives.

This process should be jointly carried out with key entities of the MoH of KR and other state agencies in cooperation with development partners to ensure that decisions taken meet the national requirements for improvement of population health including reproductive health.

In general, the country needs a unified national document targeted at unification of all cycles of national supply chain of medicines and medical products mechanism including contraceptives based on public budget, which will serve as basis and accelerator for effective implementation of health programs as contribution to achievement of universal health coverage.
