Lessons Learned from PPE Procurement
- 1. John McGhie - DFID
- 2. Lesson learnt from PPE procurement Position during 2014 – • Development of group consensus on appropriate levels of PPE to respond to outbreak. WHO – World Heath Organisation, MSF – Médecins Sans Frontières, MOD, NHS, PHE – Public Health England, NGO’s. • Refinement of level of protection and associated standard operating practises. • Approach to market midway through development to ascertain current stock levels and manufacturing lead time. • Secure forward commitment of stocks and manufacturing slots with each supplier. • Package and ship to Sierra Leone – Airbridge direct and via UK.
- 3. Lesson learnt from PPE procurement Post Response – • Development of global standard of PPE for each primary VHF agreed by all main responders / agencies. • Development of global standard of testing protocols for each type of PPE equipment. Current testing protocols varies from lab to lab. • Review previous outbreaks and agree global benchmarked level of stock to be secured in centralised warehousing to respond to future occurrences. Achieved – • Two CIPS procurement awards. • Two Global supply chain awards. • One Air freight award. • One British Expertise award. • Articles published in European / Africa Business Review, Supply Management, UK National press.
- 4. Lesson learnt from PPE procurement Benefits – • All actors would have confidence in agreed levels of protection and safety protocols in the use of the equipment appropriate to the type of response. • A routine laboratory testing regime to verify stockpile of PPE is fit for purpose. Current life cycle is around 5 yrs. shelf life. • Secured forward commitment from manufactures not during a response period would allow for a gradual build up of stores, maintaining set Quality Control processes. • Cost effective purchase, shipping and storage would offset the high price of air freight of goods during emergency • Reduced possibility of bottlenecks in supplier manufacturing pipelines.
- 5. Lesson learnt from PPE procurement UK’s achievements – • The UK led the international response to the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone and has committed £427 million to ending the epidemic, largest bilateral donor. • The UK's objective is to support the Government of Sierra Leone to maintain a 'resilient zero'. • Over 1,500 British military personnel deployed to construct six UK funded treatment centres from scratch and trained over 4,000 Sierra Leonean and international healthcare workers. • Over 150 NHS volunteers who worked on the frontline to support over 1,500 treatment and isolation beds — more than half of all the beds available for Ebola patients in the country. • Over 100 Public Health England staff ran three new laboratories, greatly speeding up the diagnosis of people with Ebola-like symptoms. • The UK delivered 2,800 tonnes of aid for the response. More than one million PPE suits and 200 vehicles, including ambulances.
