CHAI Indonesia : Consultant for Vaccine One-Gate Policy Analysis

Overview

 

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

 

CHAI started supporting Indonesia’s Ministry of Health in 2008 to scale up adult anti-retroviral therapy through improving supply chain management, as well as providing technical assistance for improving the quality of ART and laboratory systems to support HIV care and treatment. In recent years, CHAI has expanded its support to the Ministry of Health to other areas including hepatitis and helping to facilitate BMS (Bristol-Myers Squibb) to donate pan-genotypic DAA (Direct-acting Antiviral), daclatasvir, more effective treatment for HCV patient, improving access to family planning, point of care diagnostics, m-health, maternal and child health including access to immunization, and technical support for the Ministry of Health’s drive to sustainably fund healthcare.

 

Several provinces, districts, and Primary Health Centers (PHCs) in Indonesia had implemented one-gate policy for their drug and vaccine management to integrate drug and vaccines storage and the process of management and monitoring between technical units and pharmacy. The implementation of this policy is carried out in stages and is expected to be implemented in its entirety by 2024.

 

Objectives

 

One-gate policy has not been implemented by all PHO and DHO, and in those that had the implementation efficacy varies widely between places. CHAI would like to assess the implementation efficacy in units that had implemented one-gate policy, especially within immunization program context. Through this assessment, CHAI would document lesson learned from these units and develop a recommendation for an effective one-gate policy implementation that can be scaled-up to other units.

The consultant is expected to analyze the foundation of one-gate policy from national to sub-national level, its implementation and challenges in sample areas, and to develop recommendation on transition steps to ensure effective implementation in decentralized setting. The activities would include:

 

1.     Collecting and analyzing the information, guidelines, policy, reference, literature for one gate policy from national to sub-national level.

2.     Analyze one-gate policy implementation within NTB and Babel provinces in selected districts

3.     Develop recommendation of one-gate policy transition steps to ensure effective implementation
