Specifications and quality standards will be developed for each item on the Essential Medical Supplies and Devices List. This list will be used to encourage local production of essential medical supplies and devices, to guide prices of these essential items and to facilitate importation of these items. The Essential Medical Supplies and Appliances List will also be recommended to private, mission, and NGO health facilities.
