Key recommendations

IMSS should continue to develop a skilled and motivated procurement workforce able to carry out complex procurement operations efficiently.
IMSS could use data better to inform decisions, starting with the consistent and structured collection of procurement information from all its entities.
IMSS could improve the quality of its healthcare services through better supplier management, for example shifting from ensuring compliance to promoting performance.
