Pharmaceutical Procurement Services

Financial constraints have made it increasingly difficult for developing countries to adequately finance the supply of drugs to health facilities.  The countries comprising the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) have recognized that by improving the use of existing resources could be achieved by efficient procurement practices.  Of the four areas of drug supply management, which include selection, procurement, distribution, and use, efficient procurement provides the greatest opportunity for cost-savings.

 

Statistics and Data Desk

In support of the thrust towards an OECS Economic Union, there exists an urgent need for the OECS Secretariat to facilitate in collaboration with Member States Statistics Departments, the compilation and production of accurate, reliable, comparable, complete and accessible statistics and information to support the processes of regional policy formulation, decision-making and monitoring of programmes designed to benefit the citizens of the OECS region.

 

Trade Policy Unit

In 2003 the OECS Secretariat established the Trade Policy Unit within the Economic Affairs Division to assist Member States to formulate and implement trade policies and negotiate trade rules and arrangements which will facilitate sustainable development.
