Description
DYING FOR DRUGS questions common assumptions about the contribution of drugs and the drug industry to the nation's health, both in the medical and in the economic sense. The book explains why Filipinos are dying or drugs: paying for ineffective and unsafe nostrums while not being able to afford essential drugs. It explains the importance of adopting a National Drug Policy to solve this problem, without losing sight of the need to re-orient the entire health care system.
