Description

Joint Medical Store (JMS) is a private-not-for-profit organization that was established in 1979 by the Uganda Catholic and Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau to supply medicines and health supplies to its network of over 600 health facilities. As one of their strategies to increase access to essential medicines and health supplies, in 2013 JMS implemented door-to-door delivery services to health facilities using commercial third party logistics providers. Previously all customers had to come to JMS to pick up their supplies.
