| Publisher Description: This publication presents the results of a survey of the quality of 13 essential but overlooked life-saving commodities identified by the UN Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and Children. The survey had two objectives: to determine products of good quality already available in selected 49 of the world's poorest countries identified under the "Every Woman Every Child" (EWEC) movement, and to evaluate the quality of target medicines collected at the first level of the distribution chain. The survey provided a snapshot picture of the quality of the sampled products and generated information about the availability of the target medicines in selected countries. |
