  1. Realities in the Field Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Kampala, May 2010 By Catherine Slater

  2. Marie Stopes Tanzania • 14 Static Centres • 14 Outreach Teams operating within MoHSW facilities in 18 out of 21 regions of Tanzania • Provide access to all family planning with a focus on long-term and permanent methods

  3. Our Services in 2009 In support of MoHSW efforts, we delivered over 640,000 CYPs: • Over XX Tubal Ligations • Over 28,000 Implants • Over 15,000 IUCD • Over 12,000 Injectables • Over 14,000 Pill Cycles • Over 550,000 Male Condoms But this only reached 50% of our target, in the main, due to stock-outs and shortages

  4. Current Situation - IUCDs • In Quarter 1, MST delivered 4700 IUCDs • 50% came from MSI/UNFPA sources and 50% from LGA We need 14,000 IUD this year to meet our expected demand • We have stock till end of June, and anticipate additional supplies from LGAs

  5. Current Situation - Implants • In Quarter 1, MST delivered 7400 implants • 81% came from MSI/UNFPA sources and 19% from LGAs • We only delivered 44% of our target We need over 60,000 implants this year to meet our expected demand • We recently received emergency supply from MSI/UNFPA, however a stock out at end of May is likely

  6. Key Challenges/Solutions • Shortage of commodities at national level • Unpredictable and decentralised distribution system. We are preparing to join the MoHSW Integrated Logistics System, though anticipate that planning, coordination and delivery will still be difficult • Limited options for accessing supplies – Sino not yet registered and Jadelle registered but not approved to GoT Technical Advisory Body. We welcome GoT’s efforts in moving this forward, as well as option to access this high-turnover product centrally.

  7. Working together to ensure that no one gets turned away…….
