E-drug: 2001 International Drug Price Indicator Guide
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

I am happy to announce the publication of the 2001 edition of the
International Drug Price Indicator Guide. The Guide provides exactly
what the name implies--an indication of generic drug prices on the
international market. It includes nonprofit suppliers and commercial
international procurement agencies, as well as actual prices
obtained through international competitive bidding (ICB).

This edition of the Guide includes nearly 150 new items and prices
from 13 different sources. The therapeutic classes with the most
new entries are antibacterials, including antituberculosis drugs;
antiretrovirals; oncologic drugs; cardiovascular drugs; and
contraceptives.

Management Sciences for Health produced the 2001 edition of the
Guide in collaboration with the World Health Organization.
Development and publication of the Guide were supported by the
Strategies for Enhancing Access to Medicines (SEAM) Program,
which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 

The electronic version of the 2001 edition is posted on the
Manager's Electronic Resource Center (http://erc.msh.org/). If you
are not on our mailing list and would like to receive a print copy of
the 2001 International Drug Price Indicator Guide, please contact
the MSH Bookstore at bookstore@msh.org.

If any of you would like to contribute your organization's ICB or
tender award results to the next edition of the Guide, please
contact me at jmcfadyen@msh.org. I would be delighted to discuss
this with you.

Best regards,
