Factors affecting implementation of the medicine redistribution guidelines in Western Uganda
Less than a third of the facilities complied with the medicine redistribution guidelines. The facility's level, knowledge and awareness of the guidelines, and access to updated guidelines were key factors associated with compliance to the medicine redistribution guidelines. The Ministry of Health should intensify efforts to raise awareness and ensure easy access and dissemination of the latest guidelines.
