[RuwanPrsd@netscape.net (Ruwan Chandana)]

Dear INDICES readers,

We are a group of medical students from university of Peradeniya,Sri Lanka.
Wewould be thankful to you if you could give us the following information to 
be used in a work shop conducted for medical students.

1.What are the international professional bodies/health authorities that accept 
generic prescription as the most rational method of prescription in most instances.
Please give us references from literature if possible so that we can quote them 
in future references.

2.Can you please tell us a few definitions given by such health authorities eg: 
WHO for RATIONAL USE OF DRUGS.Please give the references if possible.

Thank you.
