E-DRUG:  Essential drugs without essential staff? (3)
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear E-drug Users,

There is room for us to favourably act from where we are.  

What appears to be key perhaps is to relevantly train more people in order that their instruction matches with their job specifications.  Re-training whenever required and continuing training coupled with efficient monitoring should contribute a significant portion to the solution of the problem of lack of competent human resource capacity. 

There are two queries however.  First how can a manager of an institution decide to use up all the chances for continuing training or re-training at the expense of staff at operational levelSecond in Uganda, sometimes, six out of seven doctors in a facility can decide to go for leave, for example. 

The matter at stake for now, therefore, is to try as much as possible to relevantly instruct people.
