These tools are unable to communicate with each other preventing MSF from having a timely accurate and efficient stock management system that would facilitate the communication coordination planning and relevant decision-making that MSF operations need to ensure quality of care. Therefore there is a need to formulate a clear picture of the future “End-to-End” supply chain system/s for medical items based on the NEEDS of the medical community at the field level as well as for institutional accountability. This will facilitate the different MSF Medical Directors in their decision-making process in the future to implement a solid strategy related to the supply chain system/s for medical items.
