Is there a need for medications for clinics in South Africa?

Hi, We’re leaving for South Africa soon (on 10/9) and I was wondering if there’s a need for things like paracetamol, since we can bring some! And if so, how should we go about it—can we drop them off at a private lodge, in Kruger, in Cape Town...? Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share—quickly, since we’re leaving soon! 😉

hi there, be careful! If you're carrying a lot of medications and get checked when arriving at the airport, authorities might think you're trafficking drugs. Even if you mean well, this could backfire on you.

Hi,

I confirm, you're taking a big risk. Plus, you’d really need to be sure to hand them directly to a healthcare professional—a clinic that knows how to use them correctly.

It’d be better to go through recognized humanitarian organizations.

Best,

Hello,

I confirm, you're taking a big risk. What's more, you'd really need to be sure to hand them over directly to a healthcare professional, a clinic that would know how to use them correctly.

Thanks to both of you for this information. We wanted to make a humanitarian gesture, but I see it's a bit complicated, and it's too late to get in touch with an organization, so we'll refrain. Thanks anyway
