As core fundamentals of our business, MSD has served the nation for more than 20 years and continue to innovate different initiatives in our supply chain system. MSD shares ideas with all our stakeholders to ensure that their concerns are consistently understood and addressed to MSD developments.

Procurement procedures are adhered and implemented; MSD is the largest importer of which 80% of medicines, 90% of medical supplies and 100% laboratory supplies are imported from different countries across the world. MSD continues to collaborate with private sector to open local manufacturing facilities as provided in Public Private Partnership Act, 2010. MSD envisages that this will enable MSD and the country at large to source essential medicines and medical supplies locally and therefore reduce importation costs and lead-time as well as storage costs.
