E-drug: Re: Priority and Misused Drugs (contd)
----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Editor,
Thank you for your response in e-drug regarding the recent study
done by local NGO "Pharmaceutical Horizon of Nepal(PHON)" on
Priority and Misused Drugs. All essential drugs are Priority drugs
for public health institutions. Department of Drug Administrtation,
Ministry of Health, His Majesty's Government of Nepal(HMG) registers
all drugs in the National list of Essential Drugs - Nepal as well as
those drugs which are outside of essential drugs list. One of the HMG
criteria is to register only those drugs which are included in
Pharmacopoeias recognised in Nepal. Regarding assurance of the quality
and registration of drugs, those companies submitting GMP certificate
according to WHO- certification scheme guideline in manufacturing
premises and quality control are made bases for importation and
domestic production.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely
Dr.Asfaq Sheak
Chief Drug Administrator
Dept.of Drug Administration
Newbaneshwor, Kathmandu, Nepal
