Requesting Medical Supplies
The Requesting process aims to accommodate ad-hoc requests for medical supplies. That is, this component of WIMEDS can be used by anyone that needs to urgently request medical supplies for NTDs from WHO. The Requesting Process is currently deployed and in production in the following link. Its main sub-components are shown in the figure below.

Create Account
In order to be able to submit a request, a user needs to create an account in WIMEDS. This is done by filling the necessary information in the following link. A screenshot of the form to be filled is shown in the figure Create Account. Once the form is completed the user receives an email with a link that needs to be clicked in order to activate the account.
Fill in and Submit Request
The task of submitting a new request starts with the requestor selecting the disease and the type of medicine to be requested. Next the requestor is expected to fill-in a form which consists of three tabs: 1) Selecting the Health facility for which the disease is requested. 2) Filling in information about the medicine requested and the patient for which the same is requested. 3) Uploading the necessary authorization documents that are required for the Medicine to be able to enter the Country.
Health Facility
Select a health facility from the list
Since the request is performed on behalf of a health facility, the requestor needs to select the health facility he/she is representing from the list of the available health facilities. However, if the health facility cannot be found on the list, he/she can register a new health facility under the respective administrative division (e.g., if the health facility is located in Barcelona, the user needs to locate the city of Barcelona and register the health facility under it).
