Original report from Phnom Penh
18 November 2009
Five Asian countries began on Wednesday in Phnom Penh a three-day meeting to discuss regional fight against counterfeit drugs.
“Combating counterfeit drugs is very important for the region,” said Grégoire Chassaing, French internal security attaché. “The region is affected by both the production and consumption”.
The seminar, supported by French embassy, brought medical experts from Cambodia, China, Laos, Singapore, and Vietnam.
Cambodia’s health officials said because of poverty people need cheap drugs which subsequently lead to the import of counterfeit medicine.
