Bulk procurement of TB drugs for the region Bulk procurement of TB drugs for the region B ulk purchasing forms part of the SADC Health Sector Policy Document, and SADC has taken the initiative by establishing a technical sub-committee purely dealing with bulk purchasing.
Various countries receive drug donations from foreign countries.
To gain a substantial regional leverage in any joint tender, South Africa should participate, because of the buying volume of the country. The initiative will require a central administrative bid secretariat, and representatives of the participating countries should serve on an ad hoc evaluation committee.
