E-DRUG: Antiretroviral drug access in South Asia
----------------------------------------------
[To respond DO NOT CLICK REPLY. Please respond to Suzanne Crowe <crowe@burnet.edu.au>]
I am looking for information on antiretroviral drug availability and
mechanisms of access in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan,
Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal).
Specifically
1 is there regulation of antiretroviral drug access via a government program?
2. What are the criteria for access of antiretroviral drugs via the
national program?
3. When did the national program on antiretroviral drug access start?
4. Is regulation effective or can antiretrovirals be purchased in shops
without restriction?
5. What drugs are available and are they generic? From which companies?
Thank you. This is for an official report. I am grateful for your time and
information
