Abstract

Pharmaceuticals are an important component of the health system activity. Their contribution to improving the health status is vital. To ensure sound management of the pharmaceutical products logistics (orders, delivery, storage and distribution), a new procurement strategy has been adopted by Morocco in 2012. This strategy is based on a centralized procurement, by which the purchase is grouped by anticipation (the budget for the year in progress / the exercise of the following year), and a decentralized storage and distribution allowing the territory stratification in eight regional depots: Berrechid, Oujda, Al-Hoceima, Laayoune, Agadir, Marrakech, Meknes and Tangier. The challenges this environment is facing justify the focus on this research subject, and the contribution of this work includes a global mapping of the Moroccan supply chain of hospital drugs, and a simulation of the dispensation process comparing the global and the nominative dispensation.
