[e-drug] Experiences with implementation of essential drugs lists?

E-DRUG: Experiences with implementation of essential drugs lists?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Maybe some of the 4000+ E-druggers can share some experiences with Tricia Kennerley of Boots? Please send to her in a direct email to Tricia.Kennerley@allianceboots.com WB]

Dear Colleagues,

I am interested to hear if anyone has any experience/insight in
implementing an Essential Drugs List in developing markets. Things I
would be interested in are;-

* How the reimbursement price was established
* What was the mechanism for remunerating the pharmacist, eg, fee
for service, on cost?
* Was the implementation as a result of regulatory and legislative
changes?

Information on any market is much appreciated!

Many thanks for any insight anyone can give

Best wishes
