• Description:
• Architect Team Leader Production of designs and drawings for the construction of the new NATPHARM warehouse NATPHARM New Warehouse / Harare Central Stores master plan development The National Pharmaceutical Company (NatPharm),is a commercial company under the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) for procurement,storage and distribution of health commodities to the public sector in Zimbabwe. The health commodities for HIV, TB, and Malaria constitute the largest component of the total volume currently stored and distributed in the public sector. Due to increased initiation of patients onto Antiretroviral therapy, the years 2009-2015 have been marked by a significant increase in the volume of health commodities handled by NatPharm. At the same time, there have been plans to improve the handling capacity of this supply chain with refurbishment of the NatPharm stores mainly the Harare and Bulawayo Regional Stores. Partners including Global Fund (GF) and JSI were in 2010 mobilized to support the Roadmap for improvement which achieved the following milestones: ï‚· Financial systems are now in place that provides information needed to objectively assess the company\'s financial position. ï‚· A new organizational structure has been approved; staff skills are known and a training program has been developed to improve staff skills where possible; a retrenchment program has also been devised to reduce over-staffing. ï‚· Existing warehouse procedures and processes have been updated to align with present best practices. ï‚· A program for improving storage space for the Harare Regional Store is completed. ï‚· Coordination between NatPharm and the partners has been improved; NatPharm provides key financial information to partners to facilitate reimbursement of funds. ï‚· All software developed for distribution has been converted to Microsoft Dynamics NAV; key commodity and customer data have been input into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. ï‚· Communication links between the Harare central office and branch stores have been substantially improved through the introduction of fibre optic lines. ï‚· Many changes to infrastructure and equipment have been completed, including generators for all stores, new cold room compressors for Harare Regional Store, and installation of insulation at Harare Regional Auxiliary Store. Despite these significant improvements, additional storage space is required at the Harare Store to meet the growing storage needs resulting from increased commodity consumption rates. Without this additional storage/racking, NatPharm will face a serious storage shortage in the near future. The Government of Zimbabwe through its Strategic blueprint, ZimAsset 2013-2018 outlines the need to improve infrastructure in all sectors of the economy and this document has been prepared in the context of the blueprint.
