Space Requirements at the State Drog Store (SDS)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

For every ten lakh population, provision should be made for the storage of about 45 cartons (of 20 boxes each), of Patient-wise Boxes (PWBs) for new cases (PC-1) and PWBs for retreatment cases (PC-2) taken together.<\/span><\/li>\n\t
This is approximately equivalent to 6 months requirement of drugs. For this volume of drugs, the minimum space requirement may be approximated as 50 cubic feet.<\/span><\/li>\n\t
For loose drugs, space provision would be 10% of space allocated to PC-1 and PC-2 PWB cartons.
