Hi Farrukh Quraishi Great idea, as you ask for info - It would be irresponsible to just buy & ship Drugs carte blanche based on information taken from volunteers. You should contact Medical teams who are "on the ground" to establish their specific needs. I think http://www.msf.org.uk/ and https://disastermedics.org/ are both on the Island. There are Guidelines for Medicine Donations published by the World Health Organisation (WHO)http://www.who.int/medicines/publications/med_donationsguide2011/en/ There are Temperature sensitivities for some Medicines So it is not feasible just to pack them on a Palette for normal Shipping. You will be able to get supplies from various suppliers who specifically supply NGO's or are NGO's themselves such as:- http://www.idafoundation.org/ or http://thegima.com/ Well done to you for raising such a huge donation (y)

I suggest you order from bigger medical companies in Greece, like i.e.Bristol-Myers. ( http://www.bms-greece.gr/Pages/Home.aspx ) . This will save you all the troubles getting permissions, customs, freight etc, as they are already in Greece.

Just be aware of London Travel Clinic - they are private and very expensive! Many of the chemists such as Boots and superdrug give vaccinations which are cheaper and you can get an appointment at short notice. You can also try http://www.somerfordgrovepractice.co.uk/clinics-and-services.aspx?t=4 which has a walk in clinic but check the time.
