E-DRUG: Expanding the WHO Model Essential Medicines List (8)
-------------------------------------------------------------

I don't remember in the current thread if we earlier  defined "generic
prices",  but should this be taken to mean any price as long as the product
is generic? 

Surely, we should guard against the impression that all generic
medicines are affordable. This may well be a matter of words, but what I
would like clarified is ; even if such a qualification should be made to a
product's inclusion in the WHO EML , how are countries then expected to
practically use this information in their decision making?
