The Committee noted that WHO had provided documentation and assistance since the early 1980s in an effort to increase access to oral rehydration salts (ORS), and that this document had to be updated to reflect the revised formulation of the ORS. The United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) and several countries had already been procuring the new formulation since 2004. The revised document would be finalized shortly. As agreed at the thirty-ninth meeting of the Committee, The International Pharmacopoeia monograph was being rewritten to reflect the revised formulation. 

The Committee noted some of the activities of the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) related to pharmaceuticals. These include qualification of suppliers, specifications for products, contracts with suppliers and the management of warehouses. It was noted that UNICEF uses the WHO lists of prequalified products and manufacturers in the procurement of HIV/ AIDS products and vaccines. Due to the lack of prequalified antimalarial products, an interim assessment process was used. Another problem identified was that some products included in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines were not available on the market. 

The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) and many other organizations are involved in the procurement of pharmaceutical products. In particular, the supply of pharmaceutical products used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), malaria and tuberculosis has become a major concern at both the international and country levels. Commitments by the European Commission and G8 countries, among others, offer the potential for significant increases in funding for efforts to combat communicable diseases. Low-cost pharmaceutical products of assured quality have the greatest potential for maximizing the impact of these efforts. The need for a model quality assurance system...

In the last decade there has been substantial progress toward the elimination of iodine deficiency, reflecting the validity of the strategy based on salt iodization and iodine supplementation (WHO, 1999).

Bangladesh offers an example of this approach. Early in 1993, we responded to an invitation from United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) to work with over a thousand leaders in Bangladesh. In the world s eyes, this is considered to be one of the most tragic of countries, a nation relentlessly afflicted by flooding, poverty, illness, and futility. But Bangladesh is also a world of metaphor, of high and low...
