Political Will and Financial Commitment

Political will was an essential ingredient for OECS/PPS’s success because the Prime Ministers of the OECS agreed to establish the OECS/PPS in 1986.  The countries deposited one-third of their annual pharmaceutical budget to individual country drug accounts at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) in order to assure prompt payment to suppliers and to maintain a revolving drug fund.  This was a concrete sign of political will and financial commitment.
