Hi All,

I wonder if the author of this op-ed has heard about EPR for pharmaceuticals and if EPR would have any chance of becoming law in Uganda? If ug.nationmedia passes this on to the author, maybe we will find out.

"Inappropriate disposal of pharmaceutical waste in Uganda is a serious but often overlooked threat"
"Majority Ugandans lack knowledge of proper disposal practices of pharmaceutical waste, and the consequences of erroneously discarding such waste.   Besides, many households do not have access to proper waste disposal methods."
"The author, Claire Marunga Banura is a pharmacist"
