E-DRUG: Review Papers sought by SADC
------------------------------------
[from TREATMENT-ACCESS list with thanks; any E-drugger willing to assist SADC?
SADC = 14 countries of Southern ad Eastern Africa. The Health Desk coordinator is
Dr Thuthla Balfour, in Pretoria. WB]
Hello all
A request has come from the SADC health sector for people who may be interested
in putting together a review paper in one of the following areas:
- poverty and HIV, and the impact of current poverty reduction strategies in the
region on the HIV epidemic.
This would motivate for the link between poverty and HIV, and also do a small
analysis on the current PRSP in region, whether they are effective, and how they
can be improved.
- local manufacturing of medical supplies, drugs etc - motivation for this, the
obstacles for the region and if and how it can be viable for the region in the
current trade systems.
- Bulk procurement - a perspective from an economic angle, that supports bulk
procurement.
All these are to be addressed with Finance ministers in mind therefore all should
make economic sense.
They are not looking for academic theses (!) , but a clear presentation of the
facts and options.
If you are interested in any of these please contact Dr Thuthula Balfour at the
SADC Health Sector, at email ThuthB@health.gov.za directly.
She will inform further on timelines, fees etc.
Thanks!
