Medicine availability: NPSP-CI aims to adapt purchases to hospitals’ needs

Côte d’Ivoire’s Nouvelle Pharmacie de la Santé Publique (NPSP-CI) is holding immersion sessions at Cocody University Hospital from November 4 to 6, 2026, under the slogan “NPSP-CI at your service.” Its director general, Dr. Kouyaté Ibrahim, says the aim is to align purchasing with doctors’ prescribing habits and the quantities actually used by health facilities. The purchasing agency is also using the m-Supply software to improve data reliability, stock management and tracking of medicines, particularly those subsidized by the state.
