Editorial: World Health certification Scheme on Drugs
Abstract
A former Director – General, World Health Organization, Dr. Halfadan Mahler once wrote, “There are
certain human values that are or should be sacred in all cultures; social justice is one of them”(Afro
Technical Papers No. 18, 1981, page 7, WHO publications). Health care provision to the marginalized
population of any society is a cornerstone of this social justice and was highlighted in the Alma-Ata
declaration of 1978.
