Does SCMS collaborate with existing mechanisms for procuring and delivering HIV/AIDS medicines and products?
SCMS is not intended to operate independently of existing supply chain systems. With the unprecedented scale-up of HIV/AIDS care and treatment, new partnerships and collaborations across industries and geographical boundaries are required. SCMS currently works with and coordinates its efforts with host-country partners, international donor organizations, US government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and faith-based organizations. SCMS constantly seeks new ways to collaborate to strengthen existing supply chains and to share lessons learned. We are committed to ensuring that sustainable systems are left in place and providing medicines to the people who need them most.
