E-DRUG: WHO and the Rational Use of Medicines
-------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
I thought you might be interested in the following press release...
Health Action International supports the Rational Use of Medicine at the
WHA Executive Board.
A small HAI team stayed on after the WHA to lobby members of the
Executive Board in support of the WHO secretariat's proposed resolution
on the Rational Use of Medicines(RUM)last week. HAI welcomes the
decision of the EB to revisit the resolution next year before it goes
forward to the World Health Assembly. However, whilst the resolution
passed by the EB re-establishes the Rational Use of Medicines as a core
agenda item, the resolution could go much further. You can read the full
press release and HAI's intervention to the Executive Board here
