E-drug: Good Storage Practices in health facilities
---------------------------------------------
Dear e-drugs members,
Can any one please send me the protocols for Good Storage Practices of
drugs. This information is required for use in training program for
pharmacists in different health facilities like small health centres,
large tertiary care hospitals and retail pharmacies. I'll be glad if
the latest resources for above are also sent along with.
Thanks in advance

[Managing Drug Supply, MSH, Kumarian Press 1997 has a big chapter on
medical stores management and one on planning and building a store.
This book is really comprehensive and is a 'must' for all aspects of
essential drug management and training. <erc@msh.org>.
Anthony Battersby wrote 'How to look after a health centre store' in
1983. Available from Healthlink <info@healthlink.org.uk> Perhaps
there is a later edition. 'Contact' Number 73 June 1983, is helpful
and includes a table on the shelf life of drugs and stability
