E-DRUG: Essential drugs without essential staff?
------------------------------------------------

To what extent will there be an insistence on quality assured
staff to distribute the medicine?

Will some of the funding go towards facilitating the return of the
health care staff who have been lured away from our shores? All
the drugs in the world will be worthless if we do not have health
professionals to diagnose, prescribe, dispense, educate, counsel,
monitor and encourage adherence.

Cheers
