E-drug: Quality and use of drugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear All,
In recent times, we have put a lot of concern on access to
life-saving and life-prolonging medicines. I think that we have
forgotten about the quality of those drugs and their proper use.
I have a view. Let us concentrate on the whole: Quality, access and
proper use. These 3 aspects must be emphasized together. If we
continue emphasizing access alone, we shall rejoice for a while and
mourn for a longer time.
With that view, can't we have policies and facilitation in developing
countries to stress: quality of generics, access to quality generics
and proper use of high quality generic medicines?
Sincerely,
George Kibumba, MPS (Uganda)
