E-drug: Essential drugs in village setting (cont)
---------------------------------------------
It is hard to give you suggestions without knowing what conditions
are being seen and treated. A subset of the drugs in the WHO Model List of
Essential Drugs would probably meet your needs. This list can be obtained
from WHO.
A physician knowledgable about the illnesses being treated would
be able to select the subset of drugs needed by your teams.

[the site for the WHO Model List is

linked to that site. WHO/EDM also has a big range of examples of
Standard Drug Lists and Treatment Guidelines from other countries in
their documentation centre. BS]
