[Drug supply for HIV patients in day care centre in Republic of Congo: the French Red Cross experience].
The commitment of the French Red Cross Society to fight against HIV-AIDS in Africa is based on day care centres (DCC) set up and operated within public hospitals, for instance in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire in Republic of Congo. These outpatient facilities offer global care including supply of medicines and antiretroviral therapies. The regular supply of medicines, laboratory and medicals materials necessary for the follow-up of the patient is the key of the quality of these structures and their durability. The French Red Cross guarantees this supply chain in countries where no secure pharmaceutical purchasing centre exists, as for exemple in Republic of Congo.
