(4) Today I can proudly state that the availability of spurious, duplicate or mis-branded products at the pharmacy level in Goa is almost zero and (5) the FDA in Goa is one of the most honest Departments in Goa as well as India (6) and this has been so over the last 25 years & more due to honest leadership of the Directors. (7) To say that everything is hunky dory of course would mean that either I am naive or a fool with no idea about what goes in the Pharma Industry Dear Savio, Thank you for your post. I am absolutely delighted that you (like me) believe that Goans are very honest professionals, esp in comparison to their counterparts on the rest of the subcontinent. The points in your post, however, are in stark contrast to those made by Shiv Kumar, an individual I have come to e-trust over the past several years. A couple of queries, one to Shiv and one to You (Savio) SHIV, the statements you have made with regard to the Faking of Audits and the Untested medications being provided to ( and possibly being dispensed by ) the Specialist doctors, raise potentially Criminal issues. I wonder if you have any VERIFIABLE evidence of wrong doing or if you are merely relying on hearsay. IF you have the verifiable evidence, what have you done with it? SAVIO, while I know that medicines manufactured in China and India are among the least expensive ones, could you guide us to the protocol / study you utilised to conclude that "India produces the best medicines in the whole world"? jc
