The '''WHO Model List of Essential Medications''' is a list created by the [[World Health Organization]] ([[Quadriplegia (Album)|(WHO)]] of the most effective and safe medications for any given health care system. More than 150 countries have created their own national essential medication lists based on the WHO list.
'''The List'''

The list was first published in 1977 and was last updated in 2016. The list as it stands is surprisingly short:
#[[Ativan (Lorazepam)|Ativan]]
#[[Coffee]]
#[[Dilaudid (Hydromorphone)|Dilaudid]]
#Enemas
#[[GoLYTELY]]
#[[Haldol Blowdart|Haldol]]
#[[Laughter is the Best Medicine|Laughter]]<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/12/laughter-best-medicine/ Breaking: Ativan is the Best Medicine, Laughter Falls to Sixth]</ref>
#Placebo
