E-DRUG: Course: Management of Medicines in International Health
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sirs / Madams,
We have extended the application period for our online course "Management of Medicines in International Health" to April 30, 2005.
Your applications are still welcome.
The number and categories of usable medicines are steadily rising but the financial resources available for health services remain limited. This means that the rational management of medicines is becoming increasingly important in public health care in order to have optimal use of the allocated budget and offer health services with the best quality.
The aim of this course is to introduce the participants to the subject of rational management of medicines in health services.
It is designed for health care professionals with at least one year experience in the handling of medicines such as prescribing doctors, pharmacists, health service managers, administrators and nurses preferably with working experience in Africa, Asia or Latin America.
The course itself consists of 7 modules. Each module has to be studied during a 3-weeks period with a working load of 8 hours per module.
Following the online phase, a face-to-face seminar will be conducted, during which participants will develop a project proposal for better management of medicines in international health. It will take place in Heidelberg from 28 November - 7 December 2005.
