Paragraph
Paragraph text
Poor-quality medicines are not related solely to imported medicines, as it is popularly perceived. Therefore quality inspections cannot be limited to border controls and inspections. It is important to have standard regulatory requirements for both domestically produced and imported medicines, along with regular inspections of production facilities and distribution chains for which persistent shortages have been reported.
