Dear colleagues, sending you the slightly updated list, which includes our recommendations as well.

There are some fundamental questions, like which model to follow or how to incorporate the generic drug policy and to what extent? As well as questions that probably can be referred to Ministry’s legal dep., like: role of the pharmacist and the roles and responsibilities in general. However this is one of the key questions to be decided on a policy level, at the same time.

So, on a more general level… as soon as the key issues are clarified, we can move on to the mockup design stage…and we start from the solid ground in the face of tech. requirements docs prepared by Ahmad.

Aleko what is the expectation from the Ministry side? We have shared all the technical docs already, so do you think sharing only the mockups and discussing them during the design stage is enough or some education is needed to be done before?
