E-DRUG: Effectiveness of central medical stores?
------------------------------------------------

E-druggers,

Have anyone done any study in the effectiveness of Medical Stores in African region? If anyone has done, I would like to see the results.

Am now discussing my results on a study done in Malawi.

Dear Norman,

Mr Eriko Kawasaki did some research into this, especially focusing on
missionary medical stores in East Africa.

See for example:

Best regards,

Ron

Norman, it may help you to look at the following report, that deals with
the faith-based sector:

We would like to inform you that the report "Multi-country study of
medicine supply and distribution activities of faith-based organizations
in sub-Saharan African countries" can be accessed on the website:
http://www.who.int/medicines/ under "latest publications" of the WHO
Medicines home page.

[The actual 2 MByte report is downloadable directly from:

I hope this information will help you.
