E-drug: Centralised Purchasing
---------------------------------------------
(copied from the AFRO-NETS discussion list)

Dear Sir:

In response to your recent posting concerning the benefits of
centralised purchasing of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals the
following information could be useful for your interest. The United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development(UNCTAD) maintains the
world largest INTERNET-based trading network. Major multinational and
smaller manufacturers of medical equipment, supplies and
pharmaceuticals post almost daily offers to sell factory direct in
bulk at significant price discounts. Hospitals and clinics,
singularly or in groups, can take advantage of the proffered
purchasing opportunities.

Details of UNCTAD's Trade Network are described in our plan:

"Proposal for the Establishment of Internet Service Centre with Video
Conferencing for Investment Promotion, Electronic Commerce - Trade
and Tourism Development in Africa".

You can obtain a copy of this document, free of charge, by contacting
me by e-mail or fax. You may also be interested in a companion
document:

"Proposal for the Development of Internet - Telemedicine Capabilities
in Africa".

I trust that you will find the foregoing information appealing to
your interest.

Sincerely,

Dr Sigmund de Janos, Senior Consultant
