Thank you.
I am going to continue on the issue of ethics and conflicts of interest, but more specifically as concerns professional ethics.
The topic is not new. We have already heard physicians and pharmacists tell us that pharmaceutical companies exert daily pressure on them. I would even add that some of them are given training by these companies. It is a fact where surgeons are concerned, and we have examples. Some pharmacists are solicited regularly to promote certain medications, or asked to offer replacement medications rather than filling physicians' prescriptions.
It's useful to have a committee that recommends a list of available medications that may be reimbursed by insurance companies, but afterwards you have to make sure you choose the right medications among thousands of possible options, while being subjected to influence and pressure by the pharmaceutical industry.
How do you see this situation?
