Welcome note from
Board Chairman
The people of Uganda put National Medical Stores in place through an Act of Parliament and gave it a three-fold mandate: to Procure, Warehouse and Distribute Essential Medicines and Medical Supplies, primarily to Government health facilities.We have tried our best to fulfill the aspirations of the framers of the NMS Act of 1993. This has been achieved by crystallizing the mandate, which is clearly stated in the law, and by also involving our major stakeholders, getting their input whenever we are designing processes that are employed to deliver the mandate.
NMS has further crystallized this mandate to focus on major deliverables. One is to ensure that we stock all the essential medicines and medical supplies that the health facilities have quantified through their procurement plans, against the available budget.
Dr Jotham Musinguzi
