E-DRUG: Global Village and essential drugs (6)
----------------------------------------------
Wilbert,
Global village might include more issues. One area which I think has a
huge impact is what people are already doing and consider rational. For
example in one country isoniazid is used widely as an antibiotic for
colds. We often talk about irrational desire for injections etc etc etc...
The examples of irrational drug use and existing perceptions are never
ending. Is this issue not part of the 'global village' which has to be
addressed alongside promoting essential drugs and the information that
goes with them?
