![]() However, we did see evidence that Zipline facilities were more likely to have medications at the time when patients presented with severe malaria and snakebites. Patient referrals due to medical stockout: Zipline had no impact on referrals to other health facilities for an average patient treated by a general healthcare worker.Zipline did not have a significant effect on patient referrals due to medical stockouts, but it reduced instances of patients being turned away due to vaccine stockouts.However, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that Zipline reduced the percentage of stockout days for vaccines since the results were not statistically significant, but the results pointed in the right direction. Vaccine Stockout Duration: There is robust evidence to conclude that for facilities that experience stockout of vaccines, the duration of vaccine stockout was reduced by 3.2 days (p-value=0.01) in Zipline facilities, compared to 5.3 days in control facilities, representing 60% drop.For products that facilities chose to stock, there was a 3 day reduction (p-value=0.06) in number of days without a product, compared to 14.4 days in the control group (a reduction of 20%). On average, across all 18 products, regardless of which products facilities chose to stock, Zipline reduced the number of days without a product by 5 days (p-value <0.01), compared to 45 days in the control group, representing an 11% drop. Medical Product Stockouts: Zipline increased the availability of medical products by reducing the number of days without medical products in the past 3 months. ![]() Zipline reduced the number of days without medical products and vaccines.Medical Product Stocking: Zipline facilities 1 stocked 1 more product on average (p-value 2=0.05), compared to control facilities which stocked 10.24 products (out of 18 products in scope), representing a 9.4% increase.Zipline increased the diversity of health facility-stocked medical products:.
