Drug Donation Guidelines We are always grateful to receive donations from individuals and organisations for the patients of The Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital, Banjul, The Gambia. We aim to use all donated medicines in the most appropriate way possible.

This will also minimise wastage and the accompanied costs of sorting and destruction. In accordance with the guidelines produced by the World Health Organisation we ask that donated medicines should comply with the following:
