ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The review of the Essential Medicines List (EML) 2004 by the Ministry of Health has been successful largely due to the contributions from doctors, pharmacists, nurses and other health professionals from the public and the private sectors. We are grateful to the Ghana National Drugs Programme Steering Committee, the Standard Treatment Guidelines (STG) Expert Committee, the Essential Drugs List Review Committee, all Regional Directors of Health Services, all Teaching Hospitals, and all professional medical, pharmaceutical and nursing associations, Industry, Universities and individuals who contributed to the review process. It is impossible to name everyone who contributed to this edition. We thank you all for making this publication a reality. We are especially grateful to the Dutch Government and the Royal Netherlands Embassy, Accra for the generous financial assistance provided to the Ministry of Health for management support to the pharmaceutical sector in Ghana under the Ghana National Drugs Programme (GNDP) through which this activity was funded. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is also acknowledged for the financial and technical support provided for the development and publication of this edition.
