Essential medicines and medical supplies policy and guidance 2011

The UNHCR’s Essential Medicines and Medical Supplies Policy provide guidance on how to ensure provision of good quality essential medicines and medical supplies in all phases of UNHCR programming. Health services are provided to refugees and other persons of concern at national health centres or through health centres supported by UNHCR’s implementing and operational health partners. Provision of medicines, supplies and equipment necessary for preventive and curative health services is primarly carried out through two mechanisms: centrally by UNHCR or nationally through Ministry of Health central pharmacies.

For continued access to antiretroviral treatment in the first phase of an emergency, it is important to ensure that refugees and other persons of concern to UNHCR are included into national HIV treatment programmes. Where this is not feasible, appropriate discussion with the Senior HIV Officer and the relevant bureau in headquarters is required before UNHCR procures antiretroviral medication.
