RFI: Community Pharmacies Burundi
---------------------------------
Burundi is has been affected by civil conflict since 1993 and the Min-
istry of Health is currently in the process of implementing reforms. A
central pharmacy is in the process of being created and staff in the
provinces are being trained in management a prerequisite of the decen-
tralisation policy. One of the current debates is community pharmacies
and whether their existence could undermine the current health system
at health centre level.
Any comments or articles will be very much appreciated. A meeting has
been called for tomorrow (26th) to discuss the issue with MOH partners
and we have only just received the communication regarding this forum.
Save the Children is working with the MOH at provincial level in both
resource and advisory capacity.
