MSF - OCP's Global Environmental Footprint Initiative
Building MSF OCP environmental roadmap
I suggest to review the usage of plastic bags while dispensing medications to patients . Several ideas below :
- for patients who come to refill their treatment : use reusable containers for medications instead of plastic bags for medication (better to prevent humidity and light exposure, and can be refilled every month, if not damaged)
-where patients have their own bag (real one or piece of fabric used as bag) : put their medication inside instead of using a plastic bag for them to carry it
- for patients who come to refill their treatment : use reusable containers for medications instead of plastic bags for medication (better to prevent humidity and light exposure, and can be refilled every month, if not damaged)

I also think that we need to get rid of plastic bags and that reusable containers would be an interesting solution, but the container must be able to hold the name of the medicine and the times when it might be taken. I therefore suggest that we encourage reusability and, failing that, the use of biodegradable bags
I agree with Daoudal Fx.
There is an intiative lead by OCG pharmacist to work on biodegradable bag for dispensing, in order to replace our usual plasic bags
