CMMB
ensures the efficiency and efficacy of our pharmaceutical
donations program by carefully screening all
requests for medical donations through a formal,
standardized process of assessment and evaluation.
This results in enhanced services to recipients
of our donations, and also serves as an internal
and external “report card” monitoring
CMMB activities for all our stakeholders.
The
following guidelines incorporate the rapid changes
in healthcare, logistical constraints, and the
shifting political, social and economic conditions
we encounter worldwide. These guidelines are
flexible tools and indicators for CMMB quality
control:
Consignees (current and new recipients)
submit a completed assistance request form, including
a narrative reflecting project/mission/health
facility profile
CMMB approves donation after comprehensive
review of submitted application, based on the consignee’s
ability to provide healthcare to those without
access due to poverty, discrimination or location;
consignee’s agreement to provide CMMB donations
to those in need free of charge and of discrimination;
consignee’s completion of practitioner’s
agreement of responsibility; assurances that
CMMB donations can be cleared duty-free through
customs; and completion of “End Use” Report.
CMMB
assigns medicines and medical supplies based on
provide needs lists and CMMB’s
current inventory.
CMMB packs medicines, generates
all required documentation, investigates any logistical
impediments, and then arranges for transportation.
Consignee
signs and dates receipt and delivery documents
that confirm the contents correspond with documentation
provided.
Consignee returns a narrative report/distribution
grid on the use of the medicines and medical
supplies, detailing impact on population. These
reports include anecdotal stories and detailed
distribution analyses with specific data on product,
patients, health provider(s) and facility.
End use
reports are reviewed and recorded as received,
and then shared within CMMB for evaluation.
