Proper storage conditions and inventory control have a positive effect on medicine quality, data/recording quality, transparency, and the prevention of loss and expiries that lead to wastage. Medicines can lose their potency over time, and the substances that remain as they break down can be harmful. Poor and disorganized storage can lead to deterioration and result in stock-outs, overstocking, and expiries as personnel will not know what medicines are available. The purpose of the improvement is to prevent early degrading of medicines and improve reporting and stock management practices to create visibility and transparency. It will also help in making timely decisions in cases of stock-out or overstocking.
