Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency ( ZAMMSA) has announced the commencement of the annual stocktake to be conducted this month.
In a statement, ZAMMSA public relations officer Enoch Lusoke explained that in line with the agency’s commitment to upholding accountability and transparency in the National Health Supply Chain, it will conduct its annual stocktake from 2nd to January 13, 2024.
Lusoke stated that the stocktake exercise will entail physical counting and verification of inventory within the Warehouse Management System at the Central warehouse and seven (7) regional hubs.
He stated that during this period, ZAMMSA will be closed for routine deliveries and distributions.
Lusoke however, stated that the Agency will continue to process all emergency orders to ensure uninterrupted provision of quality healthcare services at health facilities.
“In preparation for this activity, all Heads of medical institutions were encouraged to place advance orders and ensure they have sufficient stock to sustain operations throughout the stocktake period, thereby minimizing any potential disruptions,” stated Lusoke.
