Background
.
Poor access to quality essential medicines contributes
to Nigeria's high maternal, newborn, and child
morbidity and mortality rates.
In 2018, USAID, through the GHSC-PSM project began
supporting the implementation of a Drug Revolving
Fund (DRF) scheme in three high-need states in Nigeria
- Bauchi, Kebbi, and Sokoto.
The initiative aimed to improve access to lifesaving
maternal and child health (MCH) medicines by
addressing poor financing for medicines.
Following several stakeholder engagements, the DRF
was overwhelmingly selected as the intervention to
improve availability of medicines.
