The Project is in agreement with the International Health Cooperation principles and it complies both with Italian and guest Countries laws. Objectives: realizing galenic lab in hospitals located in developing Countries (DC) with the aim of preparing medicinal products which comply with adequate quality requirements, first of all to fight the widespread phenomenon of counterfeit in DC; customizing the dosages and pharmaceutical forms according to the actual needs of patients; employing local staff, teaching them a “new job” in order to open suitable school; minimizing the financial commitment necessary to prepare these medicines. The Project is structured in six phases, through which it is possible to obtain an effective and functional lab: from a preliminary study of local needs up to a constantly and accurate control of the prepared galenics by analysis in the laboratories of University of Turin.
