IHS turned to the MAP Program for assistance in improving patient access to medicine in South Africa and other developing countries. The team addressed three separate objectives relating to a “direct delivery strategy” (DDS) for medicines: analyzing whether the national government could manage the system; considering the role of possible IT solutions to help the process; and recommending other countries where DDS could be implemented. The team produced a five-year and 10-year master plan.
