Exploring the logistics and supply chain services of HIV/AIDS facilities in north-western Nigeria

This study aimed to assess the logistics services of HIV/AIDS facilities in the northwestern states of Nigeria, with a particular focus on the National HIV/AIDS Supply Chain Unification Project. The project aimed to streamline the distribution of antiretroviral drugs, HIV rapid test kits, and co-trimoxazole by establishing a coordinated axial storage location for all healthcare facilities providing HIV/AIDS services in Nigeria. A field visit was conducted, covering hospitals under the Supply Chain Unification Project in the Phase 4 region, which includes Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara States. Fourteen (14) assessors visited one hundred and four (104) health facilities comprising thirty-nine (39) providing comprehensive care sites and sixty-nine (69) sites providing Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) services. An adapted Logistics Indicators Assessment Tool (LIAT) was administered. Data were collated and entered into the pre-designed database on Microsoft (MS) Access. The significant gaps identified during this research included inadequately trained personnel, low levels of availability of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manuals, a dearth of firefighting gadgets, and non-use of Personal Computers (PCs) and internet availability for transmission of reports. All these require urgent attention from stakeholders in most of the sites visited. Findings were documented, with follow-up actions to be implemented as appropriate. Findings and recommendations have been communicated to the government, implementing partners, and sub-recipients supporting the facilities. It is expected that the findings from these visits will be used in developing appropriate solutions/next steps to improve the HIV/AIDS commodities supply chain management in the country.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Palliative Care in German Comprehensive Cancer Centers - an evaluation of the implementation status

BackgroundThe working group for palliative medicine within the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) network funded by the German Cancer Aid in Germany has developed and published 14 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for palliative care in CCCs. This study analyzed to what extent these SOPs have been implemented in the clinical routine in the CCC network one year after their publication.MethodsAn online-based survey on the implementation status, limitations in daily practice and further themes was conducted between April and July 2018. In total, 125 health professionals in specialized palliative care from all 16 CCC locations were invited to participate. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS.ResultsThe response rate was 52.8%. More than half of the respondents (57.6%) knew about the free availability of SOPs on the CCC network website. The extent to which each SOP was being used actively in practice by the survey respondents ranged from a low of 22.7% (for the “Fatigue” SOP) to a highest of 48.5% (for the “Palliative Sedation” and “Respiratory Distress” SOPs). The respondents became aware of the SOP through recommendations from colleagues, team meetings or from the head of the department. The SOPs “Respiratory distress of an adult palliative patient” and “Palliative sedation” were perceived as the most practically oriented and understandable. Barriers to use SOPs were mainly limited time resources and lack of knowledge of existence and availability.ConclusionsIn practice, better knowledge about the SOPs and at the same time increased use can be achieved through systematic training or discussion of SOPs in regular team meetings. There is a need to take measures to optimize the implementation in clinical practice.

PERSYARATAN LABORATORIUM LINGKUNGAN DAN KONDISINYA DI INDONESIA

The level of environmental quality is indicated by how much the pollutants enter into and stay in it, that is whether they are still below or already above the regulated pollutants standard. In knowing pollutant concentration in the environment, pollutantmeasurement must be done by employing appropriate instrument and using qualified/ certified operator. Therefore, the role of environmental laboratory is crucial in preparing instrumentation, operator, as well as standard operating procedure (SOP) in order for sampling and analysis of pollutants to work properly and result qualified data. This type of laboratory is strongly determined by how the laboratory is operated with the standard mechanism, called good laboratory practice (GLP). GLP will be met by the laboratory that owns the current state of the art instrumentation, capability and experience of the operator/analyst in conducting sampling and analysis, availability of SOP, capability to control thequality (Quality Control) and to assure the quality (Quality Assurance) of its work and the results. Some of laboratory in Indonesia has received certification from National Committee on Acreditation (KAN). However, the granted certification from the KAN must be first checked whether it is for all or part of the laboratory capabilities. Second, whether during the analysis it is already checked the accuracy and preciseness of the instrument employed. Unlike in developed countries, this type of such check has not so far been done in Indonesia. In term of QualityAssurance, the institution that grants the laboratory certification, for example KAN in Indonesia, will send blind samples to targeted laboratory to analyze how much the concentration of certain pollutants detected by this laboratory. Third, whether the operators have strongly followed the existing SOP. Thus, in order to operate laboratory in a right procedure and accuracy, a lot of work must be done carefully in order to result a qualified data. This paper is going to describe and to evaluate how the environmental laboratory is operated and how their condition in Indonesia.
