Asian meds without inspection

[NewsWhore]

Pharmaceutical businessman Hochi Vega is complaining that 90% of medicines bought by the government for its health plans are imported. He says that most of these pharmaceuticals come from Asian countries and details about their manufacture are unknown. Vega says that Dominican inspectors have not traveled to India or China to inspect the conditions in which the medicines are made. Vega mentioned that the Chinese and Indian government provide incentives to exporting companies, making competition unfair. Vega's concerns come at a time when the media has extensively covered the recent recalls of Chinese-made toys that have been found to contain above normal levels of lead. In a recent case a toy produced in China was found to cause hallucinations when ingested. The media attention on Chinese-made items has highlighted the lack of inspection of Chinese exports.
