  • Title: Drug donations to developing countries.
    Author: Khare AK.
    Journal: World Hosp Health Serv; 2001; 37(1):18-9, 33-4. PubMed ID: 11372253.
    Abstract:
    Developing countries often receive donations of drugs either during acute emergencies or as part of long-term development aid. The donations may come from corporate bodies or governments. Unfortunately, there have been many examples of drug donations that cause problems instead of being helpful. Very often an emotional appeal for massive medical assistance is issued without determining the priority needs. The main problems are addressed in this paper.
