E-drug: WHO definition of Drug Information Centre
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-drug members,
The World Health Organization defines a Drug Information Centre
(DIC) as an independent centre that is accessible to any health
professional to ask all questions about drug therapy. However this
definition excludes DIC's situated in a hospital or those specialising in
a specific area of drug information, e.g. toxicology.
My query is why this definition excludes DIC's situated in a hospital.
