Medicine shortages are a complex global challenge affecting all countries. This includes South Africa where ongoing medicine shortages are a concern among public sector hospitals as South Africa strives for universal access to healthcare. The objectives of this research were to highlight challenges in the current pharmaceutical procurement process for public sector hospitals. Subsequently, suggest potential ways forward based on the findings as the authorities in South Africa seek to improve the procurement process. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 pharmacy managers in public sector hospitals in the Gauteng Province, South Africa. A thematic content analysis was performed, with transcripts coded by two of the authors. Coding was discussed until consensus was reached. Categories were developed and grouped into themes. The ‘Procurement process’ emerged from the data as the overarching theme, rooted in three main themes: (i) The buy-out process that was used to procure medicines from suppliers other than the contracted ones; (ii) Suppliers not performing thereby contributing to medicine shortages in the hospitals; and (iii) Challenges such as the inaccuracy of the electronic inventory management system used in the hospitals. Effective management of contracts of suppliers by the Provincial Department of Health is crucial to ensure accessibility and availability of essential medicines to all citizens of South Africa. Ongoing monitoring and support for the future use of computerised inventory management systems is important to reduce medicine shortages, and this is being followed up.

南非公共部门医院的药品短缺和采购过程中的挑战;调查结果和意义

药品短缺是影响所有国家的复杂的全球挑战。这包括南非,因为南非正在努力普及医疗保健,因此公共部门医院一直担心持续的药品短缺。这项研究的目的是突出当前公共部门医院药品采购过程中的挑战。随后,在南非当局寻求改善采购流程的基础上,根据调查结果提出可能的前进方向。在南非豪登省的公立医院对10名药房经理进行了定性深入访谈。进行了主题内容分析,笔录由两位作者编码。讨论编码直到达成共识。类别被开发并分组为主题。数据中的“采购过程”是首要主题,其根植于三个主要主题:(i)用于从非订约供应商那里购买药品的购买过程;(ii)供应商表现不佳,从而造成医院药品短缺;(iii)挑战,例如医院使用的电子库存管理系统不准确。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。植根于三个主要主题:(i)用于从订约供应商以外的供应商那里购买药品的购买过程;(ii)供应商表现不佳,从而造成医院药品短缺;(iii)挑战,例如医院使用的电子库存管理系统不准确。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。植根于三个主要主题:(i)用于从订约供应商以外的供应商那里购买药品的购买过程;(ii)供应商表现不佳,从而造成医院药品短缺;(iii)挑战,例如医院使用的电子库存管理系统不准确。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得和获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。(ii)供应商表现不佳,从而造成医院药品短缺;(iii)挑战,例如医院使用的电子库存管理系统不准确。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。(ii)供应商表现不佳,从而造成医院药品短缺;(iii)挑战,例如医院使用的电子库存管理系统不准确。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。省卫生部对供应商合同的有效管理对于确保南非所有公民都能获得基本药物至关重要。持续监控和支持计算机化库存管理系统的未来使用对于减少药品短缺很重要,目前正在采取后续行动。
