Guidelines for donation of medicines

Human suffering, especially in disasters and in shortages, stirs in people the natural response to give and to help. This help can be of great value and, therefore, it is important to have this help directed in the right direction, otherwise all help offered goes to waste. In order to get you, as possible donor, on your way to making a sensible donation of medicines, some guidelines have been put in place based on WHO documents and recommendations in this regard.

Points of departure regarding donations of medicines

  1. The Medical Mission must profit maximally of the gift.
  2. Wishes of the Medical Mission and regulations of the Surinamese Government must be respected.
  3. No double standard: if the quality of the donation is not acceptable in the donor country it is not acceptable in Suriname.
  4. Effective communication between you and the Medical Mission.

Guidelines

  1. Medicines must be geared to the needs and illnesses in Suriname.
  2. All medicines or their generic equivalent must be approved for use in Suriname;
