Screening Process for Medical Donation Requests

CMMB ensures the efficiency and efficacy of our pharmaceutical donations program by carefully screening all requests for medical donations through a formal, standardized process of assessment and evaluation. This results in enhanced services to recipients of our donations, and also serves as an internal and external “report card” monitoring CMMB activities for all our stakeholders.

The following guidelines incorporate the rapid changes in healthcare, logistical constraints, and the shifting political, social and economic conditions we encounter worldwide and help provide CMMB with quality control tools and indicators.

1. Consignees (current and new recipient organizations) submit a completed assistance request form, including a narrative reflecting project/mission/health facility profile.
2. CMMB approves donation after comprehensive review of submitted application, based on the consignee's ability to provide healthcare to those without access due to poverty, discrimination or location; consignee's agreement to provide CMMB donations to those in need free of charge and of discrimination; consignee's completion of practitioner's agreement of responsibility; assurances that CMMB donations can be cleared duty-free through customs; and completion of an“End Use” Report.
3. CMMB assigns medicines and medical supplies based on provide needs lists and CMMB's current inventory.
4. CMMB packs medicines, generates all required documentation, investigates any logistical impediments, and then arranges for transportation.
5. Consignee signs and dates receipt and delivery documents that confirm the contents correspond with documentation provided.
6. Consignee returns a narrative report/distribution grid on the use of the medicines and medical supplies, detailing impact on population. These reports include anecdotal stories and detailed distribution analyses with specific data on product, patients, health provider(s) and facility.
7. End use reports are reviewed and recorded as received, and then shared within CMMB for evaluation.
