Decluttering is the order of the day. Clothes, books, shoes, cosmetics, crockery and such like are relatively easy to give away. But what about those medicines that one no longer needs and haven’t expired? What does one do with them? Putting them in the trash is a waste and passing them on to second-users requires medical supervision.
Sushmita Bhatia faced such a dilemma when her husband passed away. A whole lot of drugs had piled up during his long treatment. She began searching on the internet where she discovered Doctors For You (DFY). A phone call later she had arranged to pass on the depressing stash of medicines, reassured that they would now be in the hands of professionals who would put them to appropriate use.
