Is WHO name misused in medicine promo?

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Talking of WHO ethical criteria for drug promotion?

I am studying misuse of WHO name and logo in medicine promotion and

over a year have collected >60 instances.This also includes giant

MNCs of foreign origin. So pharmaceutical companies do not spare

even the recommendory organisation from exploitation !

Stay tuned and you can listen to my whistles.
