Essential drugs make the difference between Life and Death

Have you ever realised that the leftover medicines in your house can actually give a new lease of life to those who die for want of medicines or because they can't afford to purchase medicines.

Patients do not take the medicines prescribed for them for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes people are discharged from hospital with a bag of medicines to take home just in case they suffer certain symptoms - for example they may be given some extra strong painkillers in case they suffer severe pain after an operation.Sometimes a medicine doesnt suit the patient and they go back to their doctor to get something different. Sometimes the patient gets better and doesn't need the medicine after all, and sometimes sadly the patient dies.

These unused medicines are literally life-savers to people in desperately poor parts of India who would otherwise be unable to afford them , or even in some cases may be treated at a health care centre that simply cannot obtain them.

Now you can do something with those medicines. Help in saving a life. Donate it to Givemedicines.org . It would go towards helping those who cannot afford to buy the medicines they need. . You could make that extra effort and organize a drive in your locality to educate and put together a usable package of unused medicines. And make that vital difference between life and death . You can send the unused Medicines to us or drop it at the address of our volunteers in your city. If there is no Volunteer in your city join us as a Volunteer.
