collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), UNICEF
and IFRC, is endeavoring to improve coordination in the health

supplies. Organisations donating medical supplies to the
DPRK are requested to adhere to the following lists where
possible.

Distribution of the
Essential Medicine Manual
Last year, the WHO, IFRC and UNICEF reviewed and
updated the Essential Medicine Manual based on
the most recent WHO Formulary. The translation was administered
by the WHO. The three agencies greed to print 30,000
copies, with each agency paying for 10,000 copies. The printing was
accomplished by January 2004. IFRC and UNICEF will distribute the
manuals in their usual "designated" areas.

Distribution of the manuals started with the regular distribution
of medicine kits and is expected to be completed by April 2004.
Distribution
of Medicines in the DPRK in 2003
The Central Medical
Warehouse (MoPH) succeeded in delivering all UNICEF medicines as
planned in 2003: 100 per cent of deliveries were administered as
planned, 62.5 per cent were delivered within the planned month, with
the remaining 37.% per cent being delivered late. This is a good
job considering the logistical difficulties confronting MoPH in
distributing medicines to more than 2500 Ri clinics/hospitals and 141
county/provincial hospitals.
