HindranceTo Drug Revolving Fund
- Poor management
- Wrong application of the fund
-Purchasing of drugs at exorbitant prices
-Lumping of the proceeds of the fund into a general account,
- Non- reimbursement of the cost of drugs for exempted patients.
The Drug Revolving Fund Scheme should be strengthened at all levels of Government through:
-Establishment of a DRF committee in every health Institution for an effective and transparent fund management. Provision of adequate capital for the procurement of required drugs;
-Maintenance of a separate account for the DRF scheme while ensuring strict accountability for the drugs; and Provision of appropriate training for the DRF personnel.
