Indices: Drug information centres in Africa (2)


Here are the results of my enquiry on drug information centres in
Africa. We could obviously be missing services offered in Francophone
Africa and smaller regional or specialist centres. I have avoided
listing those centres that only offer poisoning information (all in
South Africa):

Please let me know if I've made any mistakes or if there are any others
that should be added to the list.
