The Department of Health (DOH) encouraged pharmaceutical companies that have knowledge on the alleged anomalies in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to report it and show evidence of such illegal acts.
DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire speaks to members of the media during the first face-to-face press briefing after two years at the DOH Central Office in Manila on Wednesday, July 20.
DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire vowed to immediately conduct an investigation once evidence of illegal acts concerning FDA will be submitted to the DOH. “But we request also that if this pharmaceutical company really have evidence to provide, please submit it to the Office of the Secretary so that we can be able to investigate it at once and we can address it and provide appropriate measures against those who are in violation,” she added.
During the Senate deliberations on the DOH’s budget last Nov. 18, Tulfo claimed that some officials of FDA are allegedly asking P5 million to P20 million from pharmaceutical companies to fast track the process of their products’ Certificate of Product registration .
