E-DRUG: Independent or integrated Drug Regulatory Authority? (3)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear E- druggers,
   
Sierra Leone is a typical example of this situation. We have a small regulatory authority that regulates both the profession and practice of pharmacy and yes we are part of the ministry of health. At the same time we do have a degree of autonomy in terms of our regulatory function.

Unfortunately I can not elaborate this morning because the entire country is at a stand still this morning awaiting the final results of the run off presidential election. Who ever is interested in knowing what and how we do it can contact me later.
