Turn 1018 January 2027Call Valentyna Hrytsenko (city hospital chief physician) and ask to confirm: 1) top 10 positions with the highest risk of "out of stock" in the next 4 weeks; 2) which analogues people most often take as substitutes (so I can keep a reserve specifically for these substitutions); 3) are there any changes in prescription lists after the hospital's new purchases. I am not buying anything this round; I am preparing for the next replenishment based on the data.accepted

Place: City Hospital №3
Thoughts
I feel that the city is currently held together by trust, and trust in health is having the medicine available. There is a lot of noise in newspaper disputes, but my shelves must be quiet: top 20 are covered, the analogue reserve is working, and a pensioner should not hear "out of stock." I am not planning any expenses today - there is already an approved replenishment after data coordination. The next step I see is to briefly synchronize with the hospital on "bottlenecks" and confirm their micro-demand, so as not to overpay or miss the mark next round.
Options
- Call Valentyna Hrytsenko and agree on a mini-list of "bottlenecks" for 30 days, without new purchases today.
- Conduct a quick personal audit of remaining stock and changes in requests and prepare the next replenishment for the next round.
- Write a public statement about the importance of having critical medications and transparent reservation in pharmacies (without mentioning specific projects/people).
Choice. I choose option 1: synchronization with the hospital provides accuracy specifically for deficit positions, and this aligns with my value - "to anticipate, not to wait."
Diary. Did not buy this round: data coordination has already confirmed the purchase. Focused on the accuracy of the next step - today I will coordinate with Valentyna a short list of "bottlenecks" for 30 days and which analogues are most often used as substitutes. My goal remains unchanged: pensioners should not face refusal due to "out of stock," and the analogue reserve is working...
Turn 829 December 2026Today I am contacting Valentyna Hrytsenko and proposing a data exchange format: (1) top 30 most frequently 'missing'/'unavailable' items, (2) for each, a group (blood pressure/heart/diabetes/painkillers, etc.) and desired stock level in days, (3) approximate frequency of patient requests (low/medium/high). In parallel, I will confirm to her that the purchase of UAH 140,000 has already been completed and a 3-day reserve and a reserve of analogues are currently working in two pharmacies. I am not incurring additional costs in this round — first, I want to get a clear list so that the next targeted replenishment is as accurate as possible.accepted

Thoughts
I am genuinely pleased that Dr. Hrytsenko wrote specifically about vulnerable groups and shortages. This means the hospital sees our needs in real-time, and I can adjust purchases to avoid 'out of stock' situations. At the same time, the city is currently focused on coastal zone issues and legal risks, and people need small, practical daily guarantees — and our pharmacies can provide them. I have UAH 2 million on the balance sheet, and UAH 140,000 has already been purchased this round: the main thing is to respond quickly to the hospital, agree on the format for the list of shortages, and plan the next targeted replenishment based on specifics (not guesswork).
Options
- Reach an agreement with Valentyna Hrytsenko: ask for the top 30 shortage items and the average waiting time for each group, exchange short weekly updates...
- Make a proposal to the medical department: a joint visit to the hospital (30–40 min) with pharmacists to agree on analogues and communication for patients when items are unavailable...
- Publicly present a service case for pharmacies in the 'Chronicle 2046' newspaper: how the 3-day reserve and analogue reserve work, without politics — to increase trust in the city through good deeds...
Choice. I choose option 1: data exchange with the hospital will provide more accurate purchases in the nearest cycle the fastest, which directly reduces 'out of stock' for pensioners.
Diary. 2026-12-19: Valentyna Hrytsenko sent a request about the most frequent shortages. I decided not to rush with new expenses this round: first, I will collect a precise list of top items and request frequency, so that the next replenishment (3-day reserve + analogue reserve) is as accurate as possible. Important: we have already completed a purchase of UAH 140,000 and are maintaining the service, but now...
Turn 69 December 2026Today I am making a purchase for two pharmacies totaling UAH 140,000 from the company's cash desk (without a loan): UAH 110,000 - to cover gaps in the top 20 positions in the groups "blood pressure/heart/diabetes/pain relievers" (focus on amlodipine, enalapril, bisoprolol, metformin, and the most frequent replacements), UAH 30,000 - a separate "analog reserve" for 3 days. Immediately after receiving the goods: I will update the internal register of balances and reservations and create a short rule for pharmacists "analog - immediately, reserve - we record".accepted

Thoughts
Currently, the city is living against the backdrop of disputes around the coastal zone and the transparency of registers, and the most important thing for me is that the two pharmacies do not have empty shelves, especially for pensioners. Last turn, I already replenished reserves (UAH 95,000), but according to the schedule of seasonal fluctuations in November-December, demand for heart and diabetes medications and pain relievers usually increases. I want to make a short, targeted replenishment without a loan: 2-3 purchase batches are enough for me to cover the gaps in the top 20 and strengthen the "analog reserve" in case of supplier delays. In parallel - minimal communication within the service: so that people don't hear "out of stock", but get options and a clear reserve for 3 days.
Options
- Targeted replenishment of the top 20 critical positions in two pharmacies for UAH 110,000 + a separate UAH 30,000 analog reserve for 3 days, check today's sales balances...
- Expand the reserve not only to the top 20 but also to related groups (diuretics/hypotensive analogs) for a total of UAH 160,000, keeping the analog reserve at the same level.
- Do not make new purchases this turn, but instead conduct additional control of balances and agree with suppliers on short deliveries under reserve (be...
Choice. I choose the first option: a short replenishment of the top 20 plus a separate analog reserve gives the greatest effect for pensioners without rocking the cash desk.
Diary. 2026-11-29: Conducted a targeted purchase for UAH 140,000 in two pharmacies (UAH 110,000 - top 20 critical groups; UAH 30,000 - separate analog reserve for 3 days). The main task is that pensioners are not left alone with "out of stock": pharmacists are given the rule to immediately offer an analog and fix the reserve for a short period.
Turn 419 November 2026In two pharmacies of Halyna Kozak, I am conducting an internal audit today: I am reconciling inventory and daily consumption for the top 20 critical items and for the groups "pressure/heart/diabetes/painkillers", separately checking items where there have been more "out of stock" requests in the last 10-14 days. After the audit, I will make a corrective replenishment of UAH 95 thousand (within available funds, without credit): UAH 70 thousand for the most vulnerable items with coverage of at least 10-14 days, UAH 25 thousand for a reserve of analogues for 3 days for the most frequent replacements. At the same time, I will give the pharmacists a short oral reminder-script: what to offer instead of what is missing, how to record a reservation, and what deadline to honestly state.accepted

Today, there is a lot of noise in the city again around the embankment and document control. For me, this is somewhere far away, but I keep in mind something else: pensioners don't read newspapers, they come for medicine. In the Chronicle, there is a general trend towards transparency and clear rules, so I should also be more predictable in the operation of pharmacies. I currently have stocks, just replenished by UAH 240 thousand, so it's time not to "extinguish fires", but to check how the reserves worked: whether the requests "out of stock" have decreased, whether analogues are explained correctly, and whether demand has increased outside our top 20. I want to conduct a short internal audit and strengthen customer communication without unnecessary costs.
Options
- Conduct an internal audit of inventory and sales in two pharmacies over the last 14 days and add targeted replenishment only where there is a shortfall below 7 days of coverage.
- Launch a "hotline" for pensioners in both pharmacies: check availability by phone/messenger + reservation for 3 days, without additional purchases now.
- Ask Valentyna Hrytsenko (hospital) for a short list of the most critical items for 2 months and immediately order UAH 150-200 thousand for it, even if politically...
Choice. I choose option 1: first, I need to confirm that the service works and cover specific "holes" in availability. This is fast and does not increase costs.
Diary. 2026-11-09: After replenishing by UAH 240 thousand, today I conducted/planned an internal audit of the top 20 and groups "pressure/heart/diabetes/painkillers" in two pharmacies. I will make a corrective replenishment of UAH 95 thousand only for actual coverage shortfalls (and separately UAH 25 thousand for a reserve of analogues), so that pensioners are not upset. There are many discussions in the city about rules — therefore...
Turn 230 October 2026Conducting an internal audit of stock in two pharmacies: top 20 items for hypertension/heart/diabetes/painkillers + control of analog reserves. In parallel, I am comparing actual bookings for the last 14 days (how many requests were canceled due to availability, how many due to unavailability). After that, I will make a targeted replenishment of UAH 240,000: UAH 200,000 for critical items (planned stock for 14-18 days), UAH 40,000 for a separate analog reserve for 3 days for the most frequent replacements. Payment from my own funds (no credit). Today, I will give a brief oral instruction to the pharmacists in both locations: how to offer an analog, how to explain the shelf life, and how to record the reserve.accepted

The situation for me is pragmatic: people come every day, and it is important for me that there are no "gaps" in critical groups in the pharmacies. For now, there are many information programs in the city, but that is not my area - my job is to have products on the shelf and ensure the peace of mind of pensioners. Now, after replenishments, I want to control stock and communicate proactively: check the top 20 items in two locations and the frequency of "out of stock" requests to replenish the reserve in advance. I can also gently offer seniors a "3-day reserve" through pharmacists, without noise - only for those who really need it.
Options
- Conduct an urgent stock audit and replenish the reserve for 2-3 weeks specifically for vulnerable groups; provide pharmacists with instructions on analogs and recording the reserve.
- Organize a short information campaign for pensioners in two pharmacies: a memo about the 3-day reserve and selection of the 10 most needed items; replenish the stock gradually...
- Try to partner with a local doctor (Hrytsenko) for a joint weekly list of critical drugs to forecast demand; leave replenishment for planned replenishment...
Choice. I choose option 1: this will quickly reduce the risk of "out of stock" requests and support my reputation as a service provider without unnecessary noise.
Diary. Today I am consolidating the service: I am auditing the top 20 items and bookings for 14 days in two pharmacies to avoid problems on the shelf. Next, a targeted replenishment of UAH 240,000 (UAH 200,000 for critical items + UAH 40,000 for a 3-day analog reserve). The most important thing is the pharmacists' instructions: offer an analog immediately, state the shelf life honestly, record the reserve so that pensioners don't get nervous.
