E-DRUG: Re: TB-treatment in Cameroon (3)
----------------------------------------

When we calculated price for WHO recommended treatment for new cases (2 + 4
months) for Bosnia and Hercegovina a few months ago, based on international
prices and no combination tablets, we came to less than
USD 30 per patient.

[The South African cost is USD 40; so why is the Cameroon TB treatment 5x
more expensive?? WB]
