WHO clarifies false media reports on India spurious
There have been some baseless, irresponsible and malicious claims in the press stating, “WHO estimates that 1 in 5 drugs made in India is a fake” and “10% to 25% of drugs in India are spurious” However, the fact is that the WHO had clarified as recently as on August 31 2012 that there was no such study carried out by the WHO.
WHO has also “regretted that occasionally some individuals in the media and the organizations use WHO references incorrectly and even irresponsibly.”
PSM India Initiative would like to make the consumers aware that WHO has made no such claims.
Kindly click on the following link that exhibits a letter from WHO India representative, Dr.Nata Menabde, who clearly states that all reports in this regard are false and totally unsubstantiated.
