20 Connectivity and Data Security Use SAMBA and TWIST Falcon as connectivity equipments. Able to use GSM/GPRS service for data transmission via e 9 ODs are successfully operated SAMBA equipment for their data transmission every month to RACHA. (Pilot starting from March 06 until now) SAMBA TWIST Falcon equipments will release to use nationwide in earlier At least, 5 USD need to pay for mobile phone service in order to keep live of this connectivity.

21 Connectivity and Data Security ODDID data is stored in different storage drives and automatically backup every transaction occurs. Every month, ODDID data is also sent central level for the security backup.

22 Capacity Building Equip ODDID users and health personnel with IT ability by training provision. On-job training provision to ensure OD pharmacists are using the system in the right way. Facilitative supervision skills are required in order to interpret, understand well the stock management reports and tackle stock management issues provided by the system.

23 Future plan Develop Drug Management computerization at Referral Hospital (HOSDID) Develop electronic monitoring tools for provincial and central supervisor Develop electronic tools for monitoring Drugs Management at RH Develop electronic tools for monitoring Rational Drug Use (RUD) Revise RUD training curriculum Develop and implement RUD awareness at community

24 Challenges and Constrains Limited IT skills of health personnel and lacking of human resources including supervisory team. Limited financial supports for the system sustainability. Since the connectivity is relied on local phone service, it s s sometimes unsecured for data transmission. Limited participation/ Involvement from partners

25 Conclusion and Recommendation LMIS plays a very crucial role to ensure drugs are managed and dispensed effectively to patients and it s s highly appreciated by the Ministry and other NGOs. On-going supports such as health personnel incentives, IT skills, on-time technical support and phone service payment in order to keep the system run smoothly. SAMBA connectivity equipment is not used only for LMIS, but also for other communications such as spreading health information from central to lower level and other repeat alert system for other national programs. More Participation from counterparts/partners
