Can I search essential medicines by section number or dosage form?

Yes, searching supports queries by medicine name, section name, or section number prefix. The query returns structured records containing the medicine, section_num, section_name, and dosage_forms fields for downstream processing in healthcare research.

Do I need an internet connection to query the WHO EML database?

No internet connection is needed because the skill queries a local CSV cache to locate medicines, sections, and dosage forms entirely offline. It performs fast local lookups to retrieve structured records without any network calls.

What format should the local WHO EML data be in for lookups?

The local WHO EML data must be in a CSV file format. You need to configure the csv_path variable to point to this file, which the skill loads to return structured records with medicine, section_num, section_name, and dosage_forms fields.

What fields are returned when querying the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines?
