Inapropriate drug donations Dear colleagues, We would ask your help for the following. During a recent HAI-Europe meeting in Riga possibilities of campaigning against inappropriate drug donations were discussed. Different organisations, like WEMOS in the Netherlands and some Medecins Sans Frontieres sections, are preparing campaigns to prevent inappropriate drug donations. It became clear that we lack well documented examples. At the moment we have to use and use again the few examples from literature and from our own experience. As we are at a important momemtum (WHO guidelines will most likely be discussed in the World Health Assembly in May 1996) and some campaigns are prepared now (US ,UK and Netherlands) we look for more examples. We would like to start a data-base on inappropriate drug donations. We would like to ask you to any detailed information on inappropriate drug donations you have. Please, be as specific as possible on quantity, kind of drugs, reason why this donation is inappropriate, donated to and by whom, recollected drugs or pharmaceutical industry left-overs. Thank you very much, Erik Schouten (Medecins Sans Frontieres, Netherlands) 100736.1240@compuserve.com and Bas Van der Heide (WEMOS, Netherlands) bas@wemos.antenna.nl
