Uganda makes liquid morphine from powder in a simple facility and lets trained nurses prescribe it, giving pain relief to patients that no doctor will ever reach. Other countries could copy this within a year.
Hospice Africa Uganda pioneered reconstitution of oral morphine solution from imported powder at low cost, distributed through a public programme and prescribed by specially trained nurses and clinical officers under a 2004 regulation. The model has been documented and adapted in a handful of countries but not widely. A package combining pharmacy standards for reconstitution, a nurse-prescriber training curriculum, and model regulation would let ministries adopt it quickly.
