E-DRUG: World Consumer Day 15th March - Unethical Drug Promotion  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
Today is World Consumers Day. Several consumer organizations are focussing today on  
UNETHICAL DRUG PROMOTION. it will be good to know how many of you are monitoring the IFPMA CODE , have noted violations, reported it & have seen action taken or not taken.

IFPMA Code, HAI Code, WHO's Guidelines on ETHICAL Marketing practices , if they can be put together, to compare contrast & appreciate the discrepencies, along with the violations observed it would ensure wider engagement of public Health groups public interest groups besides Rational Drug & consumer organizations.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
