E-DRUG: HIV Drug Donation
From George Haven "based on an expressed need". Donations should not be
given if not solicited. For this reason the place to start may be the
various countries' Ministries of
Health to find out what needs there are what criteria needs to be met.
Please may I add: The MOH criteria will spell out comprehensive guidelines
for HIV management in the country. Donations of drugs outside the
guidelines are not helpful. Duration of treatment is a crucial issue. A
donation that does not contribute to sustainable management is of little
help.
