At the beginning of 2000 there was NO: • GFATM - Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB & Malaria • PEPFAR - President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief • GDF - Global Drug Facility for TB • PMI - President’s Malaria Initiative • UNITAID - International Drug Purchase Facility • Clinton Foundation – Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative • Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

World Bank Countries $ $ Country direct purchase Multiple Mechanisms of Countries Receiving Support for Drugs/Diagnostics For HIV, TB and Malaria
Global Fund created January 2002 • Innovative approach to international health financing. • Swiss non-profit foundation, not part of WHO • Double majority board decisions • Financial instrument, not an implementing entity • Support programs that reflect national ownership. • Leverage additional financial resources. • Country Coordinating Mechanism & Principal Recipients • $6.7 billion grants awarded through January 2007 • 6 proposal rounds • 450 grants • 136 countries • $3.3 billion disbursements
What does $3.3 billion achieve? Funding % is for Rounds 1 through 5
GDF performance over 5 years • 55 grants in 65 countries • 9 million patient treatment • $50 million annual procurement • Products • First-line adult anti-TB drugs • Second-line adult anti-TB drugs • First-line pediatric anti-TB drugs • Diagnostic kits • >200 monitoring and technical support missions
UNITAID – the airline ticket levy • Innovative funding mechanisms for development • $300 million projected for 2007 • Scale up access to treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB by: • Lowering the price of quality drugs and diagnostics • Accelerating the pace at which they are made available • Brazil, Chile, France, Norway and UK • Based on sustainable and predictable funding • Operate through existing partner institutions • Priority: • Pediatric ARVs • 2nd line ARVs • ACT • MDR TB drugs • Diagnostics
UNITAID strategy through collaboration • $34.8 M with Clinton Foundation • Paediatric ARVs against HIV/AIDS • Goal is 600,000 children • $5.7 M with Stop TB Partnership and GDF • Paediatric formulations against tuberculosis • Goal is 900,000 children • $79 M with UNICEF and the Global Fund • ACT (artemisinin-based combination therapy) against malaria • Goal is 12 million drugs in 19 countries
WHO: 30% to 70% of Africa health infrastructure owned by FBOs
5 provinces studied in Zambia by Emory & Cape Town Universities
MEDS in Kenya • Serves 40% of population • 13 million people • 1,000 customers • 110 employees • PEPFAR Participation • All ARVs; $30 million COP07
CHAN Medipharm in Nigeria • Serves 25% of population • 30 million people • 1,920 customers • 90 employees • PEPFAR Participation • 61 of 83 PEPFAR sites (26 Christian; 5 Muslim) • 70% of ARVs
Serves 40% of population 10 million people 1,171 customers 54 employees 55% of supplies are local source JMS in Uganda
FBOs and the global programs • FBOs provide much of the healthcare • FBOs often are not at the table • FBOs must be engaged to meet scale up requirements • FBOs are a key to sustainability • Faith-based Drug Supply Organizations are scared
EPN • Ecumenical Pharmaceutical Network is a thought leader and advocate in pharmaceutical distribution to developing world • 76 member organizations in 31 countries • Christian Health Associations (CHAs) • Drug Supply Organizations (DSOs) • WHO/EPN 2003 Survey of Sub-Saharan Africa • 16 Faith-based DSOs in 11 countries serving … • 8,269 hospitals and clinics • 112 million population • 43% of population on average in country
EPN/SCMS Taskforce • Provide a platform for continuous dialogue • Provide a formal mechanism for information sharing and feedback for all levels • Contribute to the SCMS supply chain strategy at a global level • Provide information on interventions in the EPN and PEPFAR countries • Identify specific issues of mutual concern and agree upon mechanisms to ensure they are addressed • Be a rapid response mechanism for concerns raised in country • Disseminate examples of best practice, lessons learned and success stories across countries • Introductions and access to other stakeholders of mutual interest
5 years 15 focus countries $15 billion in funding ART for 2 million Prevent 7 million infections Care for 10 million affected President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
PEPFAR a new way of doing business • Department of State • U.S. Agency for International Development • Department of Defense • Department of Commerce • Department of Labor • Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) • Peace Corps
PEPFAR results through September 2006 • Prevention • 61.5 million people - reached through community outreach • 6 million pregnancies - supported prevention of mother-to-child transmission • Care • 2 million orphans and vulnerable children • 2.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS • 18.6 million counseling and testing sessions • Treatment • 822,000 people including 61% women and 9% children
What makes HIV medicines different? • Medical implications • Stock-out • Substandard or counterfeit product • High-value product • Size of scale-up effort • Need for sustainability beyond current funding situation
Treatment estimates at the end of 2005 Scaling up treatment by a multiple of 4 Scaling up treatment by a multiple of 6 1.3 million patients 90,000 pallets 5.2 million patients 360,000 pallets 7.8 million patients 540,000 pallets = 1.3 million patients = Approximately 30,000 pallets of ARV, OI, and STI drugs Source: SCMS Very Dynamic Demand & Scale Up Challenges
Current supply chain challenges can impede program performance • Inadequate data for quantification/forecasting of needed commodities • Large, infrequent orders place burdens on local infrastructure leading to stockouts or product expiration • Overstretched country storage and delivery routes increase risk of theft, counterfeiting and spoilage resulting in health risks and product loss • Supply of HIV/AIDS commodities is determined by forecasts rather than demand
