[india-drug] Promoting RUD

["Dr.Usha Gupta" <usha_gupta2@yahoo.com>]

Promoting RUD
-------------

Dear All,

I feel it is high time for all of us to break silence and make India
Drug useful. In the beginning I would be interested in initiating
discussion on two topics as  given-

(A) Promoting Rational Use of Drugs in Private Sector in India.

(B)  Health Providers-Public Partenership in Safe and Effective Use of
Medicine.

I have three questions for Topic (A)-

(a)  Is there still a need for creating general awareness about RUD or
straightway deal specific areas( TB, Diabetes, Hypertension,Asthma etc)

(b)  Should we have seminars, workshops - if yes, how to go about it?
Who should be approached-Medical Association or any Academic Society?

(c)  Can we consider disseminating guidelines prepared by respective
experts through DSPRUD website.

Best wishes 
Dr Usha Gupta  

Professor Pharmacology & Deputy Coordinator(North), India-WHO Essential
Drugs Programme.
