E-DRUG: Re: Essential drugs list and donations - Turkey (cont)
--------------------------------------------------------------

I think we have had messages saying there was no need for donations.

My first reaction after the earthquake was also that Turkey has a well 
developed pharmaceutical sector with large manufacturers. So if they needed
anything at all, sure it would be only cash - or transport? And this was
confirmed by E-druggers.

Some colleagues working in diaster preparedness in Norway went to Turkey 
and they experienced the same: the Turkish authorities were very surprised 
by all the drug donations coming in - donations which were not needed.
