TL;DR: If resource-constrained countries decide to shift ART dispensing and distribution from pharmacy to non-pharmacy personnel, this should be accompanied by robust monitoring and impact evaluation and some evidence that costs may be reduced for the patient and health system when task-shifting is undertaken.
