APPROACH
World Response consultants always work in teams. Public health programs including the procurement and supply management of medicines, are complex, multi-faceted operations that no single individual can truly claim to know everything about. World Response consultants working in country therefore always rely on off-site support from experts that make up a support team, to ensure as complete and in-depth understanding of relevant issues as possible.
For example: a World Response consultant conducts an analysis of strengths and weaknesses of a particular procurement system in a particular country. She is a pharmacist and has deep knowledge of product selection, forecasting, inventory management and so on. However, she is less familiar with matters specifically relating to patents and tendering. In this case, she would refer to the World Response off-site support team, which would include a patent-lawyer and a procurement specialist.
In addition to the assistance provided by the off-site support team, reports and analyses produced by World Response are always subjected to rigorous independent review. This ensures that the quality of World Response consultancy work is consistent and of the highest standard.
