CCMDD: The right medicine, for the right patient, in the right parcel, in the right place, at the right time

CCMDD: “The right medicine, for the right patient, in the right parcel, in the right place, at the right time.” The Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution promotes convenience and cost-cutting (CCMD). The Health Systems Trust reports that the Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD) programme has alleviated an overburdened and under-resourced public health system, reports Lilita Gcwabe. “Because we serve such a large community, there would often be elderly patients having to arrive as early as 6AM in order to collect their medicine,” Dr. Dimakatso Letsie at the George Mukhari Academic Hospital. “Many of whom travel from areas that are further away and end up being hungry during the day while they wait in the long queues.”

After setbacks, rollout of new TB prevention pills to start in six districts

After various delays and setbacks, new, less toxic, short-course tuberculosis (TB) prevention therapy is finally being launched in six districts in South Africa – with training of healthcare workers already underway. The new three-month treatment course, called 3HP, will initially only be provided to eligible people at risk of TB in the Oliver Tambo District in the Eastern Cape, Johannesburg, and Ekurhuleni in Gauteng, eThekwini in KwaZulu-Natal, Ehlanzeni in Mpumalanga and Cape Town in the Western Cape. The phased rollout will be scaled up to include a total of 23 districts before the end of 2022. While South Africa has done better than most countries in recent years in providing TB preventive therapy, the country continues to have some of the highest TB rates in the world. This is something it is hoped 3HP could help address.
