The National Health Support Program Sindh convened a vital Technical Working Group (TWG) meeting Chaired by the PD NHSP Sindh Dr. Sahibjan Badar to review progress on DLI 7 / DLR 7.2
(DLI 7: PHC Facilities Reporting Reduction in Stock Outs of Select FP and Nutrition Commodities and Essential Drugs/Medicines
DLR7.2: 80% of PHC facilities in at least 15 districts have at least 80% of the essential medicines, nutrition and family planning commodities)
The Assistant Director, DG M&E Dr. Fahim Soomro presented data-driven field updates showing that districts are consistently meeting the targets. Ensuring the continuous availability of the Essential Drug List (EDL)— notified by the Honourable Minister of Health & Population Welfare department, Government of Sindh —is absolutely critical, as a steady supply of these life-saving medicines, nutrition, and family planning commodities directly bridges the historical gap between vulnerable communities and reliable care. For too long, supply chain inconsistencies forced families to face stock-outs and high out-of-pocket medical costs, but this critical gap is now actively being filled through routine district monitoring, By keeping facility shelves fully stocked, NHSP Sindh is successfully eliminating shortages, lowering financial burdens, and securing dependable, uninterrupted primary healthcare for every family across the province.
