    Developing countries aim to boost local healthcare manufacturing and procurement to reduce reliance on donors and high international costs. Strategic planning and partnerships can gradually build alternative supply chains, from importation to full production.

    Area of Science:

    • Health economics
    • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
    • Supply chain management

    Background:

    • Developing countries often face dependency on external donors and high international currency costs for essential healthcare products.
    • There is a growing need for sustainable and cost-effective healthcare supply chains in low- and middle-income countries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline strategies for developing countries to enhance local manufacturing and procurement of essential healthcare products.
    • To explore pathways for increasing the capacity of alternative healthcare supply chains.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of strategic planning initiatives.
    • Examination of public/private partnerships.
    • Review of international collaborations and donor policies.

    Main Results:

    • Local manufacturing and competitive international procurement can reduce dependency on donors.
    • A phased approach, starting with importation and progressing to full production, is feasible.
    • Strategic planning, partnerships, and international collaboration are key enablers.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing countries can achieve greater self-sufficiency in healthcare product supply through strategic development.
    • Phased capacity building allows for scalable and sustainable alternative supply chains.
    • Farsighted donor policies are crucial for supporting these national efforts.
