Ministry of Health and Population, Madhesh Province

What Ministry of Health and Population, Madhesh Province does

The Ministry of Health and Population, Madhesh Province operates through its Provincial Health Logistic Management Center (PHLMC), headquartered in Janakpurdham, Dhanusha district, Nepal. PHLMC is the sole mandated provincial government entity responsible for centralized procurement, warehousing, and distribution of essential medicines, medical equipment, vaccines, and health commodities to all public health facilities within Madhesh Pradesh (Province 2). Its customer base is exclusively internal to the public health system: four provincial hospitals (Janakpurdham, Siraha, Gaur Rautahat, Kalaiya Bara), the Manipal COVID Hospital Janakpurdham, and district-level Health Offices across the province. The center also supports ayurvedic hospitals and radiology equipment logistics.

The core technology platform is PAMS V2 (Pharmaceutical Automation Management System Version 2), which manages procurement workflows, inventory, and medicine supply data. Complementary systems include HMIS (Health Management Information System) forms and tool specifications for standardized data collection, a medicine forecasting and quantification system delivered through workshops, and a cold chain storage monitoring system with reefer container infrastructure for temperature-sensitive vaccines and medicines. PHLMC also operates physical warehouses (including a dedicated facility at Manipal Hospital) for storage and distribution.

The business model is government budget allocation rather than commercial revenue. Funding flows from the Madhesh Pradesh Government to procure and distribute health commodities via public tender processes. Pricing is governed by public procurement guidelines with tender-based competitive bidding. Go-to-market is direct government-to-government distribution within a single sub-national jurisdiction. The entity collaborates with international partners including UNFPA (reproductive health) and Global Fund / Save the Children (donor-funded program implementation). Staffing is approximately 14 personnel, including a Director, Consultant Medical Generalist/Pharmacy Officer, Cold Chain Assistant, and Store In-charge.
