Millennium Fellowship Project: Banco comunitario de medicamentos
In Mexico, the health public service for most of the population unfortunately is
deficient. So many people don ́t recieve medic attention and the medicines that they
need to their illness, the public service tell them to pay in external pharmacy and
many of them just recieve a limited payment to survive and the most basic on each
day and therefore they cannot acquire. That is why this project born as a "bank" that
means that recollect medicines from donations of people that have many in their
house and don ́t need ir more for their personal use and also from institutions and give
it to each person that really need it showing an ID and medical prescription. Until
today, are 56 banks of medicines active in all the state of Nuevo Leon and each one
have their coordinator and people that support and help them to release the
medicines.
