[indices] Poison information centre and antidote bank

["Huma Rasheed" <huma_rasheed@hotmail.com>]

Respected Sir/ Madam

Hello


I work as a clinical pharmacist in the children's hosiptal and the institute of child helath, Lahore, Pakistan. I was introduced with your organization during  the PEOPLES HEALTH ASSEMBLY 2000, BANGLADESH. I'm currently trying to establish a poison information centre and antidote bank in my institute under 24 hours cover of qualified pharmacists.

As many of the antidotes are not registred for availabiliaty in Pakistan 
access poses a big problem in the management of Poisoning cases. Most 
often with substances like organophosphorus compounds the antidote 
Pralidoxime mesylate is not available in Pakistan.

I would appreciate if your organization could provide its professional and 
financial support in the establishment of these services and help save 
innocent lives.


Waiting for your response
