Investigating Essential Medicine Compliance

We used documents of six tracer items to investigate compliance, including Artemether/Lumefantrine tablets, isoniazid tablets, cotrimoxazole tablets, oxytocin injections, metformin tablets, and rapid diagnostic test kits for malaria. We selected two tracer commodities, Artemether/Lumefantrine and malaria rapid diagnostic test kits because of the high burden of malaria and the large number of people at risk of getting the disease [35 , 36 (link)]. Isoniazid and cotrimoxazole were selected for their use among HIV patients for preventive treatment against tuberculosis and as prophylaxis against opportunistic infections. We also selected metformin because of the increasing burden of Diabetes Mellitus and oxytocin because of its importance in managing obstetric conditions [35 , 37 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
