E-DRUG: Returned medicines and drug donations (19)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Lori,

Thanks for clarification. Just few questions:
1. How do you value the donations? Is it what the company price or is it
decided in comparison with equivalent drugs, such as inexpensive generics,
in the market?
2. Do you donate to public service? How do donations fit with national
therapeutic guidelines and with procurement and supply chain system?
3.How do local prescribers and patients deal with donated drugs which are
different from what they normally prescribe?

Best wishes

Mohga
