E-drug: Pharmaceutical Services Distribution --------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues We are currently exploring ways of improving national distribution of private sector pharmaceutical service outlets in order to promote access to essential drugs and professional advice on correct utilisation and storage of drugs. We would be grateful for any useful info on recommended ratios of pharmacists or pharmaceutical outlets per population, particularly relating to less-developed countries with limited numbers of qualified professionals available. Any ideas on practical and sustainable incentives to induce pharmacists to set up pharmacies in 'rural', less well-served areas would also be most welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Forshaw DANIDA Pharmaceutical Advisor Uganda Health Sector Support Programme (work contact) National Drug Authority, Box 23096, Kampala, Uganda Tel: (+256) 41 255628 / 347391 / 347392 Fax: (+256) 41 255758 Email: nda@imul.com personal: chris.hssp@imul.com [There has been discussion around this topic.
