Building Capacity in South Africa for the Development of Pharmaceutical Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines
As South Africa moves towards universal health coverage, improving good governance at all levels of the pharmaceutical system is critical. The USAID-funded Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program collaborated with policy makers and stakeholders in South Africa to develop several key policy documents to improve governance in the pharmaceutical system. These documents aimed to help strengthen the manner in which decisions are made and implemented in the selection, procurement, distribution, and use of medicines–ultimately contributing to improved access to and rational use of medicines. SIAPS collaborated with stakeholders and policy makers at national and provincial levels to develop these key documents using approaches that facilitate skills transfer to local partners.
