Abstract

Despite the critical role of medicine stock management in ensuring drug availability in health facilities, existing practices often suffer from inefficiencies and inaccuracies, particularly in predicting drug demand. This study addresses these gaps by integrating information technology (IT) into medicine stock management, examining its impact on operational efficiency and predictive accuracy. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from surveys, interviews, and case studies across various healthcare facilities and analyzed using the MERISE methodology. Findings reveal that IT implementation significantly enhances efficiency, reduces human errors, and improves decision-making speed. Furthermore, capacity building for stock management staff is crucial in sustaining performance improvements. The study underscores the necessity of robust policies and cross-sector coordination to optimize stock management. Its contribution lies in offering a practical framework for IT-driven stock management, with broader implications for global healthcare efficiency, ensuring accurate medicine availability, and improving service quality in diverse health settings.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study, conducted in five secondary schools in White Nile State, Central Sudan, aims to assess the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) among students aged 14-20 years. Utilizing a sample of 384 students, the study employs the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to detect HBV surface antigens (HBsAg). The results reveal a high prevalence rate of 49%, with significant correlations between HBV infection and factors such as gender, marital status, blood transfusion history, family history of HBV, and vaccination status. Notably, female students exhibit a higher prevalence rate (55%) compared to male students (45%). Married students show a 100% prevalence rate, indicating a strong link between marital status and HBV infection. Additionally, students with a history of blood transfusions and those with family histories of HBV are more likely to be infected. Vaccination history emerges as a critical factor, with vaccinated students displaying lower infection rates, underscoring the importance of vaccination programs. These findings emphasize the need for enhanced HBV awareness, regular screening, and vaccination campaigns to mitigate the virus's spread among young populations in similar settings, ultimately contributing to better public health outcomes
