Drug drive
The district health office at Doti in Nepal has embarked upon a novel community medicine programme. It will be launched in 21 village development committees (VDCs) of the area. The scheme is meant to enable smooth and adequate supply of medicines in health institutions.
Moreover, these medicines would be available at cheaper rates. The scheme is also aimed at augmenting the quality of health services.
To enforce the new programme, a four-day training workshop was organised for the health workers. There are plans to extend the programme to all the 50 VDCs and one municipality in the near future. A district medicine management committee has also been constituted to make the programme effective.
