Developed by Obaid Khan, Nida Hameed Afridi, Hassam Durrani, and Sabin Nasir, with support from Anooj Pattnaik, these resources offer a comprehensive overview of the procurement systems in three provinces\u2014Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh. Published by ThinkWell, the fact sheets analyse budgeting processes, financial flows, and institutional roles while highlighting systemic challenges that lead to inefficiencies and stockouts in the public health supply chain. This particular factsheet focuses on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and provides a detailed look into its procurement architecture, financing mechanisms, and local autonomy structures.
