Full structured export of the WHO Essential Medicines List — the global standard reference for medicines considered essential for basic healthcare. Filter by therapeutic category, name, or dosage form.

What this Actor does

Data source: WHO Electronic Essential Medicines List — the official WHO eEML site. Edition 23 (2023), 667 medicines, 1418 recommendations.

Output is one JSON record per result, conforming to the azureblue/medical-core envelope so you can join across our other actors on sourceUrl and dataHash.

Use Cases

1. Global-health procurement planning

An NGO planning a field hospital for cardiovascular care exports the entire EML category to spec their drug formulary. Output goes straight into procurement RFQs — saves a 2-day manual research cycle per deployment.

2. Medical-school curriculum design

A pharmacy program rebuilds its essential-drugs syllabus around the latest EML. Bulk export becomes their LMS source-of-truth — no manual reformatting vs. parsing the WHO PDF.

3. Hospital formulary gap analysis

A hospital pharmacy benchmarks current stock against the EML. Diff against their stock CSV identifies essential-drug gaps the procurement committee must close.
