Prescribing in South Africa
Abstract
Preparation of essential drug lists has long been undertaken by the World Health Organisation in consultation with health care workers in particular constituencies. These are intended particularly for third world countries where economical but effective prescribing is necessary for maintenance of health, even for survival. The lists endeavour to provide a small choice of tested medicines for use in every medical contingency, at the least possible cost.
