Essential Medicines. If a company plans to halt production or sale of one of its proprietary products which satisfies a particular medical need that would no longer be fulfilled if the product were removed from the market, the company undertakes to enter into discussions with CEPS regarding the financial situation involved in keeping the product on the market, failing which the company's status as an approved supplier may be removed.

Essential Medicines. In order to ascertain the requirements from all sources per annum, a review of the current government allocation, estimated individual revenue from RDF sales was conducted and compared to the forecasted need in the National Health Sector Strategic Plan 2022-2026 to determine if there is any funding limitation for essential Medicines. The table 12 below provides a summary of the funding analysis; Table 12: Resource Requirements for Essential Medicines from all Sources Resource Analysis 2023 Required Annual Resource Requirement Based on NHSSP 2022-2026 Govt- Liberia Annual Allocation for Essential Medicines Procurement Potential Revenue from RDF sales to Individuals Gap/Donor Requirements Essential Medicines and Commodities US$ 41.2 million US$3.8 million US$ 7.2 million US$30.2 million Per Capita Requirements US$7.9 US$0.7 US$ 1.4 US$5.8 An examination of the fiscal landscape reveals a concerning trend in government allocations towards the procurement of essential medicines. Presently, government apportions a modest US$3.8 million, which equates to a mere 9% of the estimated annual requirement of US$41.2 million. This glaring discrepancy underscores the limited fiscal space and poses substantial challenges in realizing comprehensive and effective healthcare provisioning. The proposed Revolving Drug Fund (RDF) offers a notable avenue for augmenting available resources. With an estimated annual revenue of US$7.2 million, the RDF holds the potential to contribute significantly to the financial requirements for essential medicines provision. However, it is essential to temper this potential with realism. While substantial, this revenue stream would constitute only 17% of the estimated requisite resources per annum, exposing the substantial resource gap that looms large. The pronounced resource gap of US$30.2 million per annum presents a xxxxx reality, necessitating external support to bridge this glaring deficit. The pivotal role of donors becomes palpable in this context, as their substantial contribution becomes imperative to achieve the national health system's ability to meet essential medicine requirements. Moreover, it is paramount to acknowledge the prerequisite of seed capital amounting to US$25.9 million to establish the national RDF model. This additional fiscal demand, when compared against the already existing resource gap, compounds the challenge in achieving the aspirational goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
