At the beginning of October, Health Action International, together with the World Health Organization, were pleased to become one of three recipients of the 2013 'Prix Prescrire' for the French edition of our book, Understanding and Responding to Pharmaceutical Promotion: A Practical Guide.
This juried prize is awarded annually to noteworthy books in the field of health. According to Prescrire, the Guide "is a precious resource for understanding the promotional influence of pharmaceutical companies...and offers pragmatic solutions to help health professionals and students to deal with them."
