So that means the Philippines can buy any drug because any drug in the
Philippines should have a generic name anyway, right? :D
I think the practical effect is that the poor can substitute cheaper
generics. Prior to that, they didn't have the understanduing to do so
(some poorly-trained pharmacists too!). This simplifies the matter for
them. And since the poor frequent government hospitals, it works out for
them.
God bless!
