FACED with allegations of questionable relationships with the pharmaceutical industry, the Philippine Medical Association on Saturdat, April 27, 2024, called on its member-doctors to maintain their integrity and ethical practice of the profession. In a letter to all their members, PMA President Dr Maria Minerva Calimag called on all physicians to reflect upon and reaffirm their commitment to integrity and the ethical practice of medicine, especially when dealing with pharmaceutical firms.

In doing so, Calimag said the PMA encourages all physicians to engage in the active disclosure of any financial relationships or conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies. Doctors are also urged to commit to evidence-based medicine and promote the highest standard of care for their patients, by prescribing patterns and treatment recommendations on the best available evidence rather than on promotional materials or incentives from the pharmaceutical industry.
