Hi Amy,

Thanks for the feedback.

Let me inform you, that all the information available to us for the moment was already submitted to you, in particular: 1. The fields from the current drug registry and 2. A slightly modified version suggested by our local expert on pharmaceutical issues. But besides this, I have asked the drug regulation department to prepare their version of the required fields, based again on: 1. the current drug registry (they may remove some of the unnecessary fields) and 2. their experience (some fields might be added, what is lacking now). I’m meeting with them tomorrow evening and will send their version as soon as possible, hopefully by tomorrow.

Keti

Subject: re: Field names of the Drug Registry

Keti,
Have you already determined the field names that will be collected regarding the manufacturer/importer of the drug?  Would you like us to include those in the Drug database field names we are creating? i.e. name, full address, trade names, kind of ownership or operation (individually owned, partnership, corporation) etc...

Subject: Field names of the Drug Registry

Dear Ahmad and Amy,

Sending you the list of the fields of current drug registry.

Brief info about the Registry itself - it is an Excel sheet with up to 12 000 pharmaceutical products. The product is entered into the registry once it’s registered in the Country. Drug regulation department in fact keeps two sources of information about the products: 1. Internal registry (Excel sheet) and 2. Web-page, that includes rather limited information about the product. Posting information about the pharmaceutical product (not the price at this point) publicly is mandate by the Law. So, ideally, in future it is desirable if public “registry/web site” is automatically updated from the “internal registry”.

Moreover, there is a requirement to keep the images of drug package and labeling, in a separate database though. Again, ideal would be if the drug related info and these images are concentrated in one database.

I’m simply listing the name of the fields. I would send the file itself, but doubt that it is readable because of “Unicode/specific font”.

So, in attachments you will find:

1.       The list of the fields of the current drug registry (Word file)

2.       Proposed list of field by our expert (Excel file)

Hope you find then helpful. And needless to mention to get back to me  should you have any questions.

Best,
