E-drug: Quality of drugs in Albania
----------------------------------------------------------
Dear e-drug people,
A friend of mine is in Vlore, Albania, trying to provide medical care for a
small camp of Kosovo-albanian refugees. There is a shortage of essential
drugs supplied from her NGO headquarters, so she plans to buy from local
pharmacies. She is, however, worried about counterfeit and/or substandard
products. Does anyone know anything about the quality of drugs in this region?
Best regards,
Staffan Svensson

[Note from moderator: To use local drugs, if essential, is an excellent idea
if quality can be ensured. Please reply directly to Staffan in case your
information is not of general interest or you don't want to go public with
it. Staffan could then give us an anonymised summary. Kirsten Myhr]
