E-DRUG: UNICEF/WHO: Priority medicines for mothers and children - Sources and Prices
---------------------------------------
Dear E-drug community,
Priority medicines are medicines with potential to save lives and should be
available in all health systems. Major causes of death in mothers and
children could be prevented or treated with access to simple and affordable
medicines. However, many medicines are not available in countries.

UNICEF in cooperation with WHO is now compiling 'Sources and Prices of
priority medicines for mothers and children'. With this data information
about sources shall be gained and gaps filled.
We have compiled a comprehensive list and request manufacturers from all
around the world to share basic data about available formulations. The
prices given will only be published as indicative price.
We highly appreciate your contribution and look forward to receiving your
input at your earliest convenience, preferably before Wednesday, November
23.
Please download the questionnaire and guidance note from UNICEF Supply
Division's webpage: http://www.unicef.org/supply/index_47129.html
