The hospital pharmacy is an administrative technical-scientific organ where its main function is to establish a rational system of medicine distribution. The aim of this study was to analyze the medicine distribution system in a hospital pharmacy from an oncologic hospital as well as to identify the factors that lead us to failures related to the medicine distribution process. The survey took place at the central pharmacy from an oncologic hospital in the state of São Paulo after approval of the Committee of the Ethics in Research. The sample includes 3 (12%) pharmacists, 3 (12%) pharmacy assistants and 19 (76%) pharmacy attendants. All the professionals were asked about their willingness to participate in the survey and afterwards they signed on the "Free Will Participation Agreement". The collected data show us that the distribution system from the above mentioned hospital is the individually differential dose system, with electronic prescription. The results based on the 7 days observation show the environment as the main problem in the medicine distribution (44.77%) once the place is improper and have several professionals performing different activities as well as frequent interruptions. From the environment observation was possible to demonstrate, through the fluxograms, all the actions performed by the pharmacy professionals from the electronic prescription's arrival until the medicine delivery to the nursing team. The interviews with the professionals show us that the most frequent errors were related to the medicine dispensing (28.05%) and to the medical...

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (School of Public Health) / Access to medicines (ATM), specifically for those medicines that are related to the priority health needs of a population has been cited as a fundamental part of universal health coverage and a key element for service delivery and high-quality care. Therefore, ensuring reliable access to and appropriate use of safe, effective and affordable medicines is one of the core functions of an effective health system. With the rising demand for treatment of chronic diseases (e.g. HIV, diabetes and hypertension), ATM has increasingly received global attention. Yet as of 2011, it was estimated that at least one third of the world's population had no regular access to medicines. Globally, there is a dearth of in-depth country level evidence to influence policy responses, coupled with inadequate understanding of how pharmaceutical systems operate within broader health systems. This thesis comprises two main parts: 1) a situational analysis of the state of chronic medicines provision in the public sector in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces of South Africa; and (2) an evaluation of an existing ATM model in one province. To situate this study within the ATM discourse, a conceptual framework was developed from a review of empirical and theoretical literature. The framework incorporated six ATM dimensions (availability, affordability, acceptability, accessibility, accommodation and quality) and their interplay at multiple levels including: health facility, individual, household and community levels. Then, at a health system level, the interaction of medicines (a health system building block) with other building blocks (information, financing, human resources, infrastructure and governance).
