Situational Analysis of Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management Including Contraceptives in Kyrgyzstan

on universal health coverage. This study provides an in-depth situational analysis of Kyrgyzstan’s supply chain for pharmaceuticals and health commodities, including contraceptives.

The analysis highlights persistent barriers—such as fragmented regulation, gaps in logistics and data systems, limited public procurement coordination, and inconsistent contraceptive provision—despite recent health sector reforms (2021–2023).

The report reviews national laws and policies, international reproductive health guidelines, and EAEU frameworks, assessing areas such as forecasting, budgeting, procurement, warehousing, and transportation. It identifies capacity constraints and opportunities for improvement at all SCM stages.

Key findings reveal the need for:

• A unified national document institutionalizing all SCM cycles within the Ministry of Health;
• Strengthening of the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS);
• Enhanced coordination between state entities and development partners; and
• Increased public investment in family planning and essential medicines.

The study concludes with practical recommendations and a draft Action Plan to improve governance, transparency, and sustainability of the national supply chain.

🔹 Key Recommendations (Bullet section)

• Develop a National Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management Framework integrating all cycles (forecasting, procurement, storage, distribution).
• Strengthen data-driven decision-making through LMIS and regular monitoring.
• Clarify institutional roles within the MoH and MHIF.
• Build national capacity in SCM through continuous training and supervision.
• Increase state budget allocations for contraceptive procurement and reproductive health commodity security.
