INDICES> Effort in Quality and Use of Drugs is Needed Too
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear All,

In recent times, we have put alot of concern on access to life-saving
and life-prolonging medicines.

We have forgotten about quality of those drugs and  proper use.

I have a view.
Let us take the whole piece.
Quality, access and proper use.
Those 3 aspects must be emphasized together.
If we continue emphasizing access alone,
we shall rejoice for a while and mourn for a longer time.

With that view, can't we have policies and facilitation in developing
countries to stress:  quality of generics, access to quality generics
and proper use of high quality generic medicines.

Sincerely,

George Kibumba, MPS(Uganda).
