E-DRUG: BMJ: call for a global treaty on falsified and substandard medicines
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The BMJ this week runs an article that requires discussion. E-druggers should read the full BMJ article, which can be downloaded here for free:

dear E-druggers,
The proposed definitions in this BMJ article are in the form of a Figure, not text, so it is difficult to see how they differ from the SSFFC notation favoured by the WHO. A second article focuses on the priorities for neglected tropical diseases.
Any response to the approach proposed in this article and the definitions proposed?
