E-drug: Quality control of essential drugs (cont)
---------------------------------------------
There are other alternatives that were discussed in Zambia. You could
contract out the service to the industry. However, you have also to
monitor that particular company you have contracted out to ensure
that it meets the terms of reference and standards you are looking
for. The industry has also to be aware that you monitor their
operations and aware that it is monitored for adherence. How
independent is that? Not at all. But they are contracted to do a
specific activity and have to meet the contractual obligations.
