Efficient and transparent intermediary

CENABAST’s mission is to offer intermediary services in an efficient and transparent form in the area of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and public property requirements - the above through information, technology and knowledge leadership guaranteeing a timely supply of required products.

The organisation’s vision is closely related to its aim of becoming the biggest and most efficient intermediary and co-ordinator of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies serving as a basis for a modern, integral and solidary health service.

The Vision, the Mission and the Strategic Planning of CENABAST have been established and designed by the Directing Board of the Institution.

Institutional Strategic Objectives

Between March and May 2005 the organisation produced an institutional strategic map, objectives related to the integral management framework and the respective Performance Indicators. Subsequently, each supervision and management unit signed their respective institutional commitments. The objectives are:

• Selective Growth: Duplicate  mediation services in 24 months, focusing the service on AUGE products, essential products and those  that are in great demand and coverage.
• Self-financing: Assure a certain level of institutional self-financing that would permit to have sufficient resources in order to carry out technological and infrastructure improvements necessary for  integral and modern mediation.
• Institutional Positioning: Position CENABAST  in a place where it would be recognised as an efficient and  modern institution committed  with the Health Reform and the modernisation of the Public Health System  through improvements of client-satisfaction levels and the development of a more committed community work.
