African leader calls on countries worldwide to strengthen drug regulatory and administration measures
November 5, 2010 -- During the opening of the tenth annual meeting of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP) in Ghana, the country’s Vice President John Dramani Mahama called on ISoP member countries to strengthen their pharmaceutical regulatory systems in an effort to curb the spread of counterfeit medicines. According to Mahama, US foreign aid provided to developing countries to address global health diseases needs to be accompanied by increased attention to regulatory issues, such as fake health products. More than 500 participants attended the ISoP meeting to examine regulatory practices worldwide, as well as to discuss challenges and develop best practices. See the link below for more details.
