E-drug: ARVs - Asian countries' essential drugs lists?
---------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I'm glad I've been added to this group because I have some questions that
I'm trying to get answered in the next two weeks. I'm trying to find out
several things:
1. Which, if any, developing countries have added ANY HIV medications
(preferably anti-retrovirals, but also medications to treat secondary
infections) to their essential drugs list and/or their country's formularly.
I thought that they might be on India's essential drugs' list, but I have
not been able to find it anywhere on line.
2. Which specfic drugs have been added.
3. If I can get an actual copy of the particular essential medicines lists
in the next two weeks.
I'd love to hear any suggestions about how to get this information. I'm
particularly interested in South Asian countries but any developing
countries would be good.
I'm glad to be part of this list. Thanks in advance.
