Paracetamol for the pharmacy in Togo

Pain-killers are the basic medications in every pharmacy. In Saoudé, these are often missing. The cost of purchase of 500 tablets is just 7 EUR.

The pharmacy in Saoudé is open 5 days a week for everyone. The patients, who come to pick up their medicines, bring their diagnostic cards and prescriptions. Medicines are distributed free of charge, because being aware of the situation of the locals, we could not do otherwise. At the same time, we don’t want the patients to get used to getting free medications, therefore we accept corn, sorghum and other local crops as payment. The food gathered is then distributed to those who have no supplies and have nothing to eat.
