هل أخطأت صحيفة "الرأي العام" في حق مستشفى "أحمد قاسم" للأطفال ؟؟؟

Quote: The anti malarial Artesunate suppositories have been around for some time, certainly more than 15 years & were first produced in China. And according to a research paper from Australia published on the American Society for Microbiology Journal in 2006, they are more effective than the injectable form (http://aac.asm.org/cgi/content/full/50/3/968) I have seen them in 2001 used by the Chinese working in Sudan. And I remember discussing this with some senior paediatricians in Khartoum Teaching Hospital, some senior pharmacist and the head of the Malaria programme in Sudan, I think it was Dr. Omer Zayid Baraka at the time. They all indeed thought it was a good idea, especially in children with vomiting who would otherwise be on the injectable form. But unfortunately, someone in the ministry of health did not approve it. I do not know if things moved on or not after I left Sudan in 2002. May be they have, as selling paracetamol to treat malaria is indeed a crime and would result in a disciplinary action against the pharmacist. I am a bit surprised that two junior doctors in a large children's hospital have not heard anti malarial suppositories or may be they have but the suppositories are not yet approved for use in Sudan !!!!!!!!!!!!
