Reconvening Bangkok: 2007 to 2010 – Progress Made and Lessons Learned in Scaling-Up FP-MNCH
Best Practices in the AME Region
7 – 11 March 2010
Diarrhea, still # 2 killer of children < 5
• Estimated 1.8 million deaths annually, down from 4 million in 1990

Zinc in the Treatment of Diarrhea
• WHO & UNICEF include Zinc for rational treatment of diarrhea (2004) with ORT
• Zinc treatment in diarrhea: – decreases duration of diarrhea by 20-24%– reduces the severity of diarrhea by 25%– provides protection for next 2 -3 months and
reduces diarrhea incidence by 34%

Policy and the Public Sector
• Included Zinc in national diarrhea treatment guidelines along with ORT
• Zinc and ORS in procurement list
• Training of health workers on-going
• FDA approved Zinc as over-the-counter (OTC) for diarrhea treatment

Engaging the Pharmaceutical Industry
• Well developed capabilities and infrastructure – Manufacturing, GMP compliance and Quality
Assurance– Intensive marketing to doctors and
pharmacists but limited direct-to-consumer marketing experience
– Nationwide distribution• Initial enthusiasm and expectation of quick
return
Production/ Supply is not the Issue

L-O ORS
Sustained Demand is the Issue
• At multiple levels:
– Health providers
– Drug sellers
– Caregivers

Working with Multiple Partners
• Competition and multiple products keep prices down
• Additional products increase “noise” and reach
• Competition helps push product to lower socio-economic groups
13
Phase 1 Strategy: Establish Zinc Among Health Professionals
• Engage Zinc manufacturers in promoting rational management of diarrhea
• Enhance partners’ marketing capabilities• Intensify continuous promotional efforts and
extended distribution• Target key opinion leaders and top prescribers

Phase 2: Saturation of Health Care Providers
and Drug Sellers• Intensify regular Rx of Zinc among top
prescribers of diarrhea treatments
• Focus on drug sellers and 1st line care providers in rural areas: informal RMPs in India, midwives in Indonesia
• Target RMPs, midwives and outreach HW through NGO’s health promoters.

Phase 3: Reach the Caregivers
• Interpersonal communication:– Direct private sector promotion through NGOs– Outreach health workers
• Mass Media – most effective when health workers are on board, nationwide distribution in public health system is in place, and there is sufficient penetration in rural market
• Supported by Public sector and Development partners

Model Adaptability
Engaging strategically the private sector:
• Applies to FP/ MNCH/ other Public Health
• Reaches national scale rapidly
• “Primes the market” for public sector
• Increases efficacy of USAID investment
• Is sustainable after project life
