E-drug: Teaching of essential drug concepts (cont)
---------------------------------------------
Hi Zaheer,
I was teaching National Drug Policy and Essential Drugs Concept for several
years between 1990 and 1997 to undergraduate (and a few postgraduate)
pharmacy students in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The list of reference
literature you quoted was also very helpful to me, some of those are
available in more recent editions, e.g. The WHO The Use Of Essential
Drugs. Additionally, I found the following two publications of
fundamental value:
1. WHO Draft for Testing: National Drug Policy and Rational Drug use
- A Model Curriculum (a programme-oriented and training unit on the
essential drugs concept) DAP/85.6 (I am not aware that there is a
follow-up edition)
2. Management Sciences For Health in collaboration with WHO: Managing Drug
Supply, Kumarian Press, USA 1997
I wish you all the best for this very important subject in pharmacy and other
health professions training.
Best regards Fritz Steinhausen

[I agree! Management Sciences For Health email: erc@msh.org
I find Estimating Drug Requirements: a practical manual WHO/DAP 88.2.
very useful as well. Also the Essential Drugs Monitors from WHO EDM
provide some great resources. BS]
