E-drug: Re: Patient drug information in lesser developed countries
----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Frans,
I hope you are aware of the fact that also in your own country in the
past materials have been developed to illustrate the proper use of
medicines, which could be used for illiterate people. These so
called pictograms are still being used in Dutch pharmacies in
regions with an allochtone population.
I am sure that the Dutch pharmacist organisation KNMP could be
of help or Lida Blom from the Pharmacy department of the
University of Utrecht. If I remember correctly she also has done
some work on the evaluation of such tools.
