E-DRUG: shortage of ACTs and other pharmaceuticals (2)
------------------------------------------------------

dear E-druggers

Shortages also mean there will be an increased likelihood of noncompliance
and the related problem of "resistance" to chemotherapeutic agents; a scary
word to contemplate in ACT hope land!! But let not this divert us from the
real issues which Libby and WB raise," How can we prevent this from
happening again". This assumes of course that the malaria control community
will rapidly resolve the current problem.
