Gabriel, Yonas Medicine and medical supplies Transaction cost analysis theory Agency theory Supply chain management A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Masters of Business Administration in Corporate Management of Mzumbe University The focus of this study was to assess the extent to which the government decided to procure medicines and medical supplies from manufacturers have impacted the performance of the health facilities. The study selected ILALA Municipal which is located in Dar es Salaam region as a case study. The data for the research was collected using questionnaires and documentary review. The targeted population was Ilala Municipal employees working in health facilities and staff from MSD procurement unit. The data collected were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and presented through tables, pie charts, and trend analysis. The analysis used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The study found that the implementation of government decision to procure medicines and medical supplies direct from the manufacturer has a positive effect to the performance of health facilities in terms of cost saving, quality improvement, and availability of medicines and medical supplies. The method leads to competitive prices which increase saving to the health facilities. The increases in saving help the health facilities to improve the services they offer to the final consumer, in this case, the patients. Wouters, Sandberg, Pillay, & Kanavos (2019), suggested that the countries can use bulk procurement to procure medicines and medical equipment. The findings revealed that the level of rejects of medicines and medical supplies due to quality defect has been reduced. This involves good packaging for easier storage and transportation to the final consumers. The study revealed that the confidence of the patients on the health facilities services have improved compared to the situation before. This could have been caused by the improvement in the availability of medicines. The products in a storage facility or distribution channels can be easily identified which discourages counterfeit and substandard medicines in the supply chain. The extent to which the availability of medicines and medical supplies has improved is supported by the ministry of health budget speech for financial year 2019/2020.
