Objective: To research current pharmacy monitoring in humanitarian settings and develop key performance indicators that trigger alerts at early stages of pharmacy mismanagement that can be collected on a monthly basis by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Public Health staff with no pharmacy background. Medicines and pharmacy systems in humanitarian settings are susceptible to mismanagement due to the sizable budgets allocated to medicines, complexity of pharmacy systems and involvement of multiple partners throughout the pharmacy management cycle of drug selection, procurement, distribution and use. Background: Medicines and medical supplies comprise an essential building block for the delivery of healthcare services to disaster-affected and conflict-affected populations.
