Medicine Monitoring Project
.
|
In 2004, former Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit and NAMFREL founding
Chairman Jose S. Concepion, Jr. signed a Commitment of Support and
Agreement for the implementation of the Medicine Monitoring Project in
public hospitals and regional health offices.
.
The project focuses on the
monitoring of procurement, delivery, and inventory of priority drugs and
medicines in 71 DOH hospitals and 16 regional health
offices nationwide. The purpose of the program
is to improve the efficiency in the delivery of health
services by ensuring transparent public bidding, preventing
fictitious delivery and to ensure that the distributions of
medicines reach the recipient hospital on time.

Recently, the Medicine Monitoring initiative was presented in
Hongkong during the OpenDoors2009: Regional Forum on Procurement
Monitoring as a tool for social accountability. Several
participants were inspired to replicate a similar monitoring
project in their respective countries.
For the past
five years, over 1.7 billion pesos worth
of procurement items, services, and
infrastructure projects were
successfully monitored by NAMFREL.
So effective was its monitoring that in
2006, an unadvertised procurement
worth P11
million pesos
at the Margosatubig
Regional Hospital was reported to the
DOH Integrity Development Committee.
|
|
|
|
Subsequently, a failure of bidding was
declared. In 2007, NAMFREL identified
procurement irregularities were endorsed
for case filing at the office of the
Ombudsman in the Visayas.
|

|
This year, NAMFREL
will implement the 2nd phase of a full cycle implementation of
the MMP. The second phase will concentrate on 28 project sites
that comprise 21 retained hospitals and 7 regional
health offices. NAMFREL volunteers will
actively engage in monitoring
the bidding process, deliveries,
as well as the distribution of
medicines to the recipient
hospitals. In this round,
NAMFREL will develop a medicine
price catalog comparing the bid
and the prevailing market prices
to help hospitals BAC determine
a reasonable and acceptable
price during the public bidding.
The project will be implemented
with the support of the
Partnership for Transparency
Fund (PTF) and the Coalition
Against Corruption (CAC).
