Started in 1998, Medical Access is a not-for-profit organization based in Kampala, Uganda specialized in the provision of supply chain management services for pharmaceutical products and health commodities in Africa, including essential drugs, antiretrovirals (ARVs), drugs for opportunistic infections (OIs), laboratory equipment, reagents and supplies, Rapid Test Kits (RTKs/RDTs), Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) kits and consumables and other supplies. 

First launched as a pilot project of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in collaboration with the Government of Uganda and participating pharmaceutical companies, Medical Access was one of the first organizations to bring ARVs into Uganda during the peak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and has since evolved into a self-sustaining, innovative one-stop-shop for healthcare supply chain management across East Africa.  

They remain committed to delivering cost-effective, reliable and sustainable healthcare supply chain management solutions  to ensure that all patients have access to the highest quality medicines when and where they need them. 

Vision
To be the premier healthcare supply chain management organization in Africa.

 

Mission
