Call To Governments

The “Stop the Stock-outs” campaign is calling on governments and health departments to end stock-outs now by:

  • Giving financial and operational autonomy to the national medicines procurement and supply agency
  • Allowing representation of civil society on the board of the national medicines procurement and supply agency
  • Ending corruption in the medicine supply chain to stop theft and diversion of essential medicines
  • Providing a dedicated budget line for essential medicines
  • Living up to commitments to spend 15% of national budgets on health care
  • Providing free essential medicines at all public health institutions
