As you are aware, the WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines met in Geneva earlier this year. The revised, 14th WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (in English) was posted on our web site shortly after.
We are now happy to announce that French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Chinese versions of the 14th Model List are available on our web site at: http://www.who.int/medicines/organization/par/edl/eml.shtml
