The census sampling method was used and sample size calculation was done online using the number of healthcare facilities within the population. An instrument for data collection was used and a well-structured validated questionnaire was self-administered. A total of 47 questionnaires were distributed to respondents and 42 were filled and returned successfully. The result showed that 20 respondents (47.6%) received training on supply chain management. On product selection 28 (66.7%) select products based on the essential medicine list. Good inventory control practices were observed especially in conducting physical stock count as reported among 41 respondents (97.6%).

The availability of a drug revolving fund committee was identified in 16 respondents (38.1%) of the respondents. Pearson correlation showed a strong statistically significant association/or correlation (p<0.003) between basic Procurement Practices and basic elements of logistics.
