Technical cooperation for essential drugs

The Technical Cooperation for Essential Drugs team (TCM) cooperates with countries on medicines issues. Using the WHO Medicines Strategy 2004-2007 "Countries at the Core" as its framework, TCM’s priority is to assist countries in their efforts to increase the availability and affordability and rational use of high-quality medicines. It achieves this by supporting country and regional structures and by building medicines expertise.
