improvements and equipment for a truly functional pharmaceutical storage and trans-shipment facility to serve the state of Benue. The store within the site currently in use stores a range of pharmaceutical commodities-HIV/AIDS
Malaria, RH, MNCH and other essential medicines. It was last renovated in the 1970’s, however the existing store remains insufficient to meet the storage needs of health programs and therefore the resulting subcontract from this RFP will be completed with an assessment, aimed at bringing the Benue State Central Medical Stores (CMS) closer to meet pharmaceutical-grade standards and increase storage capacity to meet the storage needs of public health programs.
