Global Drug Facility: Procurement Arm of the Stop TB Partnership John Loeber Procurement Team Manager Conference on Quality of Pharmaceutical Ingredients Beijing, China, 29 - 31 March 2010 Tutorial 3: Quality of essential anti-tuberculosis medicines
An initiative of the Global Partnership to Stop TB (2002) Housed in WHO and managed by Stop TB Partnership secretariat Aims to supplyuninterrupted,quality assured, affordable anti-TB medicines, where they are needed, when they are needed More than a traditional procurement mechanism, GDF is a bundled facility (ie, supplies medicines, diagnostics, provides TA in drug management, and conducts quality assurance) What is the GDF?
Global TB estimates Estimated number of cases (incidence) Estimated number of deaths p.a. All forms of TB Greatest number of cases in Asia; greatest rates per capita in Africa 9.15 million (139 per 100,000) 1.65 million (25 per 100,000) Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) ~489,000 ~130,000 Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) ~20,000 ~35,000 HIV-associated TB ~709,000 ~231,000
New Diagnostics GDF SERVICES
Supply treatments for 25 million patients by 2015 (16 million provided until 2009) Improve the quality and reduce prices of anti-TB medicines worldwide Diagnose and treat drug susceptible and MDR TB* patients Reduce the emergence of drug resistant M/XDR TB** Contribute to the achievement of Health MDGs Eliminate TB by 2050 What GDF aims to achieve * MDR TB = TB bacteria are resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin (two most powerful anti-TB medicines today) ** XDR TB = MDR-TB is present, plus resistance to at least three of the six classes of available second-line medicines

Forecasting Procedures(First Line TB Medicines) • Stock levels, patient enrolment and mortality numbers, order plans are collected from the NTP • Planning data is validated against historical analysis of supply data vs. planning data • Specific factors such as funding delays, regulatory matters (e.g. registration) • Client completes and Order Form/Technical agreement • Client works with GDF to finalize patient numbers & required quantities using Standardized GDF quantification tool: drugs & diagnostics • GDF supports client with technical and drug management support via annual monitoring mission Distinction between H/L/unknown probability
Forecasting Procedures(Second Line TB Medicines) • GLC patient approvals and enrolments • Medicines coefficients per treatment • Country planning • Donor funding • Epidemiology • New diagnostics for TB • Market dynamics, advocacy, political agenda (national and global), diplomacy

MDR-TB Patient enrollment Total of 130,842 patients have been approved for funding by Global Fund from 2003 until 2013 As of 2009 a total of 61,205 patients have been approved by the GLC to be treated from 2003 until 2011
Medicines Coefficients The coefficients assigned to each medicine have been estimated according to the data collected and analysed from different sources, i.e.: • Treatments and regimens described by the programs in their GLC applications • Coefficients calculated based on percentage of total medicines delivered within their particular subgroup and using the recommendations on treatment guidelines
