Noting that during the planned implementation period of this project, WHO is going to maintain the support of only one health project in Yalda.
Both NGOs are going to procure the needed medicines where the lists of medicines are based on the essential medicines list approved by MOH and contain only the types of medicines that are used at the primary health care level in a standard PHC center. Both lists will be technically reviewed by relevant technical officer at WHO before proceeding with the procurement. In addition the medical equipment will be technically reviewed by relevant technical officer at WHO  based on the technical specifications in line with WHO standards. Medicines and medical supplies will be procured by the NGOs  from the local market guided by their by-laws and the internal financial and admin guidelines.
Both implementing partners are subject to technical and financial monitoring and evaluation by third party monitoring agency contract by WHO to ensure their alignment with the standards.
