Capstone Project on Reducing High Stock out of Medication in Kuyu General Hospital ,Kuyu Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia

Abstract

Shortages and stock outs of essential medicines have been increasing and become a global problem. High stock out of medication in public hospital specially has high impacts on delivering health care services and reduces the community satisfaction on health services given by the public facilities. Drug stock outs cause unplanned treatmentinterruptions. Further, repeated drug stock outs interrupt treatment which causes treatment discontinuity, and if not controlled could lead to drug resistance and/or treatment failure.
