Abstract
Essential drugs are those that satisfy the healthcare needs of the majority of the population; they should therefore be available at all times in adequate amount and in the appropriate dosage forms. Various factors need to be considered for the selection of such drugs, though the model list published by WHO serves as valuable guidelines. National List of Essential Drugs, Nepal (EDL) was published in 1986, which was first revised in 1992 and then in 1997. Implementation of it helps to provide health care to a large population in relatively less resources. We have made an effort in this paper to analyze the situation after implementing EDL in Nepal and suggest the ways and means for more effective implementation so that the goal of 'health for all' could be achieved.
