Approximately 90% of medicines and medical products for 2023 have already been procured. The total cost of the purchased goods is 5.6 billion UAH.
1 billion UAH - the cost of the medicines and medical products the MPU has already received in the warehouse. Nearly half of these goods, worth 450 million UAH, have already been distributed to healthcare facilities.
In particular, the most distributed medicines and medical products are for the treatment of adults and children suffering from oncological diseases, as well as items necessary for blood donation.
For comparison: as of the beginning of autumn last year, the value of goods purchased with 2022 funds and received in the warehouse amounted to 180 million UAH. Only 31 million UAH worth of goods were distributed to hospitals.
"For us at the MPU, timely deliveries are a top priority because it's about patient care. We have put in maximum effort to change the trend where medicines procured in a given year arrive in the following year. Despite all the logistical challenges arising from the war, we have succeeded in this. The experience of the current year proves that quality planning and established processes allow us to manage the medical supply system much more effectively and ensure patients have the necessary medicines," says Oleg Klots, Head of the Logistics Department at the MPU.
