UNDP Health PSM Roster
To strengthen its efforts to effectively support partners in countries worldwide in health capacity development, UNDP has established a health procurement and supply chain (PSM) roster of readily available health PSM experts and specialized engineers to provide support to its programmes in the areas of health products procurement and pharmaceutical supply chain systems, pharmaceutical quality assurance and in the design and renovation of pharmaceutical infrastructures in public health systems to help support and systematically improve all aspects of the health supply chain.
