Summary 

The Zambia Medical Stores Limited Database tracks pharmaceutical and medical supply orders from, and distribution to, health care facilities across Zambia.

Data are provided for each pharmaceutical and supply order. For each order the following information is provided: type and quantity of supplies, prices, receiving facility and responsible program. The receiving facility listed is not necessarily the final destination of the supplies. District level facilities sometimes order and receive supplies that they then distribute to smaller health care facilities.

The Zambia Medical Stores Limited was established in 1976 to assist the Government of Zambia with the delivery of drugs to facilities nationwide.
