Response to EDL at PHC
-----------------------


Dear Dr. Sudarshan,

I read with interest your response to EDL at PHC.  I agree with you 
that it is important to establish guidelines for the EDL.  

Perhaps the best entry will be through the STGs guidelines.  The
criteria for selection of drugs are documented in WHO's  ?Technical
Report -Use of Essential Drugs'  which is now called 'Essential
Medicines'.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

J.S. Bapna
