Impact evaluation 1) To study the impact of the TNMSC in primary care centres (PHCs) on a) availability of 15 core essential drugs; b) continuous availability of an adequate quantity of the core essential drugs; and c) rational use of drugs in PHCs; 2) to study the maintenance of quality of drugs by the TNMSC and 3) to study the control of drug expenditures by the TNMSC.
Study design § Longitudinal time series with control before and after various TNMSC interventions (20 PHCs Vs 20 Controls). § Time series study of government rural PHCs before and after various TNMSC interventions in 1994 -8.
RESULTS(preliminary 5 PHCs Vs 4 Controls) § Tim e series analysis is showing a positive trend in the following indicators in the intervention facilities: 1) % of key drugs available per facility per time period 2) Average number of days of stock-out per year per facility per year 3) % drugs prescribed by generic name 4) % drugs prescribed that belong to the PHC EDL (51 drugs) 5) Average cost per prescription
§ However no such trend is discernible in the following: 1)% prescriptions containing an antibiotic; 2)% prescriptions containing a vitamin; 3)% prescriptions containing an injection 4) average number of drugs per prescription
