E-drug: WHO EDL Committee agenda 31 march - 3 April 2003 (cont)
---------------------------------------------
The agenda and documents for the Expert Committee meeting on the
Selection and Use of Essential Medicines does not contain a single
reference to the ATC classification system for medicines.
I wonder why one part of WHO (in its work with medicines on a global
basis) does not use the classification system for medicines that is
recommended for global use by another part of WHO.
Nothing can become a standard if it is not used.
