Health Care Delivery and Referral System in Tanzania Students Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define health care system Mention goals of health care system Mention levels of health care delivery system in Tanzania Describe the referral system in health care delivery Definition of Health Care System Health care system is a system which consists of all organizations, people and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore or maintain health Source WHO 2005 Goals of Health Care System The goals of health care system are; Promoting a goal of universal health care To ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them. To ensure good health for the citizens, Levels of Health Care Delivery System The organization structure includes five levels as follows: National Level The central level, is the Ministry of Health and social Welfare Regional Level This level sometimes referred to as an extension of the MOH. It has the regional secretariat and one hospital in the region. District hospital level The district is the focal point for the implementation of the national health policy managed by the local authorities. Divisional Level This consist of a health centre which provides both curative and preventive Ward Level This is the lowest level (dispensary) of the formal health care delivery system. Referral System in Health Care Delivery Referral System Is an organizational structure for coordinating, linking, & transferring responsibility of care. May be done by: a generalist to a specialist a specialist to a specialist one hospital to another Government’s referral system assumes a pyramidal pattern of a referral system recommended by health planners that is from dispensary to Consultant Hospital (Better Health In Africa, 1993). The following are health facilities from low level to the highest level through which a referral system go through; Dispensary Services The dispensary caters for 6,000 to 10,000 people and supervises all the village health posts in its ward. This is the first level where patients are attended to. If the patient cannot be attended to at this level because of the complexity of the condition is then referred to the next level which is a health centre Health Centre Services A health Centre is expected to cater for 50,000 people which is approximately the population of one administrative division. This is the second level where patients are attended to. If the patient cannot be attended to at this level because of the complexity of the condition is then referred to the next level which is a health centre District Hospitals The district is a very important level in the provision of health services in the country each district is supposed to have a district hospital. For those districts which donate have Government normally negotiates with religious organizations to designate voluntary hospitals get subventions from the Government to contract terms. Patients are referred to here from Health centres and dispensaries present within the District Regional Hospitals Every region is supposed to have a hospital. Regional Hospital offer similar services like those agreed at district level, however regional hospitals have specialists in various fields and offer additional services which are not provided at district hospitals. Patients from districts are referred to these hospitals for further management Referral/Consultant Hospitals This is the highest level of hospital services in the country presently there are four referral hospitals namely, the Muhimbili National Hospital which cater the eastern zone; Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) which cater for the northern zone, Bugando Hospital which cater for the western zone; and Mbeya Hospital which serves the southern Highlands. ← Previous TopicNext Topic →View all Law and Ethics in Pharmacy Practice topicsOpen Complete Full Notes PDF / OFFLINE NOTES Unataka kutumiwa notes hizi kupitia WhatsApp?Kwa notes zilizopangiliwa vizuri kwa kusoma offline au PDF, bonyeza kitufe hapa chini.

The separation should be made into those that can be safely used and returned to the pharmaceutical supply system and those that require disposal by different methods. For example, controlled drugs (e.g. narcotics), antineoplastic drugs and antibiotics all require special methods of disposal. Substantial investment in human resources may be required for identifying and separating those products. Sorting Categories and their Recommended Disposal Methods Sorting categories and their recommended methods Some of the examples of category of products and their recommended disposal methods are highlighted on the table below: S/N Categories Disposal methods 1. Solids, semi-solids and Powders Landfill, incineration and waste Immobilization 2. Liquids Sewer, high temperature incineration and treated waste 3. Antineoplastics Treated waste and landfill, high temperature incineration and return to manufacturer 4. Controlled drugs Treated waste and landfill, high temperature incineration 5. Aerosols and inhalers Landfill without waste inertization 6. Disinfectants Sewer or fast-flowing watercourse 7. PVC plastics, glass (ampoules, bottles and vials) Landfill and re-cycling 8. Paper, cardboard Recycle, burn, landfill Sorting process of Unfit Medicines and Cosmetic Products During verification exercise, the drug inspector shall supervise sorting exercise of unfit medicines and cosmetics products before determination of disposal method. Sorting should be done in an open or in a well ventilated area/building as close as possible to the stock pile in an orderly manner. Staff involved in sorting exercise shall be provided with protective gears such as gloves, boots, overalls and dust masks and shall be briefed on the sorting exercise, health and safety risks associated with handling the materials. Sorted medicines and cosmetics shall be carefully packed into steel drums or cardboard boxes or jute bags and information to be indicated outside the container shall include; dosage form(s) and proposed mode of destruction. The materials should be kept in a dry secure and preferably separate room to avoid being confused with in–date medicines or cosmetics until disposal is carried out. Verification Exercise of Unfit Medicines and Cosmetic Products After verification exercise is completed, a verification form (Annex III) shall be filled and signed by both parties. Verification process shall involve the following stages: Identification of the product. Separate medicines which fall under controlled drugs, antineoplastics, antibiotics and any other hazardous medicinal or cosmetic products. Sort according to Destruction Method (Annex IV). After verification the applicant shall be informed by either TFDA-HQ or TFDA zone office, Regional or District Authorities through a letter on the proposed mode of destruction and shall be directed to arrange with the respective local authority e.g. Municipal/ District Medical Officer/ Pharmacist to determine disposal site, cost and date of destruction.

Name of Drug Inspector…………………………………………Signature……………… Handout 13.1: Sorting Categories and their Recommended Methods of disposal Sorting categories: The objective of sorting is to separate the medicines and cosmetic products into categories that require different disposal methods. The appropriate safe disposal method recommended will depend principally on the pharmaceutical dosage form of the drugs. Segregated temporary storage areas or receptacles must be provided for each sorted category. Practical advice on sorting Sorting involves an initial overall evaluation of the stockpile and subsequent division of pharmaceuticals into those suitable for use and those to be discarded. For those to be discarded a decision is made on the best method of disposal. To be efficient items should only be handled once. Pharmaceuticals suitable for use should remain in their packaging. The pharmaceuticals to be discarded should, when necessary, be separated from their packaging as late in the process as possible. The sorting process includes: identifying each item; making a decision on whether it is usable; if usable, leaving packaging intact; if not usable, making a judgement on the optimal method of disposal and sorting accordingly; leaving packages and boxes intact until reaching their location, prior to definitive disposal or Transport to an institution for use. Optimum conditions for sorting Sorting should be done in the open or in a well ventilated and, if necessary, heated covered structure designated by the local authority. Sorting should be done as close as possible to the stockpile in an orderly way, with all sorted material clearly labeled and separated at all times. Staff supplied with protective equipment (gloves, boots, overalls, dust masks, etc.), should

A local task force or advisory committee should be established at an early stage to assess, analyze and address the problem of drug disposal, and to monitor activities. Furthermore, it is suggested that such a task force has a maximum of five members and that meetings are held as near to the site of the stockpile as possible. Members/supervisors are chosen from: the drug regulatory authority the ministry of health; the police authority institutional pharmacists; A qualified hazardous waste expert may be appointed by the authority to be responsible for pharmaceutical waste disposal. If this is done the person appointed should become a member of the task force. The individual can be an expert in environmental management, a registered water chemist, hydro-geologist or sanitary engineer. The choice of expert depends on the technical problems to be faced. Therefore the destruction exercise shall be supervised by Health Officer, Environmental Officer, Policeman and Drug Inspector, and the owner/witness/superintended (pharmacist in charge) of the business. Procedures for Destruction of Unfit Medicines and Cosmetic Products Destruction of unfit medicines and cosmetic products shall involve the following procedures: A Drug Inspector, Health Officer, Environmental Officer and Policeman shall supervise the transport of consignment from the owner’s premises to the disposal site for destruction exercise. The destruction exercise shall be supervised by Health Officer, Environmental Officer, Policeman and Drug Inspector.
