E-drug: Text from Doctors without Borders

[copied from the Equinet-l forum. With thanks, HH]

Hi all out there!

I am a clinical pharmacologist practicing medicine in a very poor third
world country-TANZANIA.

I like your strategy. I have one concrete suggestion. Can we work
with private practitioners in third world countries to create an enabling
environment for them to buy at cost-effective prices the HAART?

I personally am not running a private practice but I am very aware of
the problems of colleagues in this sector.

On my part I am prepared to get a group, in my town, to sit together
and come out with an essential drug list which can form the basis for
a discussion.

Any comments?

Sincerely
