E-DRUG: Privatization of drug supply organizations ----------------------------------------------    Dear e-drug readers,    I am writing a paper on the privatization of the public medicine    supply organizations. I would like to know experiences of other    developing countries in managing their public medical supplies    organizations. Those who live in countries that have already    privatized their previously publicly owned organizations are kindly    requested to report the impact of the privatization on the availablity    of essential medicines in public health facilities.    Best wishes    Yours sincerely    Gamal Khalafalla Mohamed Ali    Tel.+4479 40 25 69 42    College of Business,Law and Social Sciences    The Nottingham Trent University    Burton Street    Nottingham NG1 4BU    United Kingdom "Gamal Khalafalla Mohammed" \ ---

E-DRUG: Privatization of drug supply organizations (3) -------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Jamal;       Good luck with your paper. So far I don't think any of the developing countries was able to privatize their drug supply. However, you should log on to the WHO site at www.who.net. Or the www.msh.org. you should be able to get some answers from them.       Regards   Mona Awadh   MSc. Medicines Control & Pharmaceutical Services   University of Bradford mona hussein \ ---

E-DRUG: Privatization of drug supply organizations (4) ----------------------------------------------- Actually, Tanzania has privatized its drug supply. The privatized organization is operated by a Mr. Ramadan Madibida. Perhaps a Google search on Tanzania and procurement will reveal this.

E-DRUG: Privatization of drug supply organizations (10) ---------------------------------------------------- Dear Gamal, The national policy in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) aims to promote the creation of 30 to 40 regional central medical stores throughout the country. They will all be privately owned by not-for-profit organisations. They will enter in an agreement/contract with the national governement to supply drugs, medical and laboratory supplies for a defined period of time (5 years). At present five of these central medical stores have been created and are functional. Kind regards, Ed Vreeke Director Asrames asbl Goma, DRC dir@asrames.org "Ed Vreeke" \
