The communication of medicine selection decisions is key for effective implementation and the rational use of medicines. The Essential Drugs Programme periodically provides webinars, presentations and campaigns to educate healthcare professionals and other stakeholders on the evidence-based selection and use of medicines.
Effective communication initiatives and knowledge sharing are critical elements to ensure that key stakeholders across all relevant sectors in South Africa are engaged and educated on the importance of ensuring the rational selection and use of medicines. Circulars are developed and sent to a range of stakeholder to communicate policy and guideline changes at the National Department of Health’s Affordable Medicines Directorate.
National Essential Medicines List Committee (NEMLC) Bulletins provide a summary of important information following each NEMLC meeting to be communicated to stakeholders.
The NEMLC operates with transparency and values feedback from stakeholders on policies and guidelines. As such, documents are published for comment for a limited period of time from stakeholders prior to approval by NEMLC.
