A fair presentation
CONGRATULATIONS on the Special
Report on “Generics Medicine Law” (February 3, 2008).
The report is a fair presentation
of the side of government, the doctors and the pharmaceutical
companies for the public to know.
However, let it not be said that
the doctors are to be blamed for the dismal enforcement of the
two-decade old Generics Act.
The doctors merely want to be
given their right to prescribe the most effective and safe medicine
that their patients can afford. In the practice of our profession,
we are sworn to uphold the requirements of the “International
Medical Code of Ethics” as strictly as possible.
Let me enclose xerox copies of
published articles by non-members of the medical profession, which
doctors strongly support and agree.
I am hopeful, that at the end,
the best interest of the Filipino people will be truly served—a
healthy and happy people!
