E-drug: Request for Sources (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all
To help Mohamed Gad:
1. South Africa's 1997 Medicines and Related Substances Control
Amendment Act - available in .pdf format at
http://www.polity.org.za/govdocs/legislation/1997/act90.pdf
(unfortunately the principal Act, No 101 of 1965, is not available
electronically on the same site - only legislation since 1993 is
posted; one more peculiarity, the 1998 SAMMDRA Act, No 132 of
1998, was never posted on the site).
This should also be read with the draft Regulations published in
mid 2001 -
http://www.polity.org.za/govdocs/regulations/2001/draft_medicine.html
(careful, if URL wraps) - the comment period has closed, but no
finalised regulations have yet been issued.
2- transcript of the court record of the case submitted by the
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association of South Africa against
the South African Government in relation to the above act, up to the
point where the case was withdrawn.
Since the actual court session was so short, the greatest detail can
be found in the affidavits of the parties concerned - the most
accessible are the papers served by the Treatment Action
Campaign, as amicus curiae - see

http://www.tac.org.za/affi0410.doc;
but also search the www.tac.org.za site.
