The Race to China

Interesting post from Pharmalot regarding Pharma's move to China...

I understand the drivers behind these types of efforts, something to spruce up yet another bland corporate report,...something for senior management to tout as "the strategy"...reducing the costs of an already ineffective R+D effort, etc, etc...

These drivers will have more and more companies jumping on the bandwagon...

How many of these companies are backing up these efforts with a robust plan for maintaining the quality of the products they intend to produce?...and yes, that includes research efforts...or are they just looking at the cost savings?...

Hi there James!

I’m from the Consumer’s Union and Consumer Reports Health, and from reading your posts, thought you might be interested in a new campaign we are running called the “Cover America Tour”. Basically, we have a team going around the nation traveling city to city in an RV interviewing individuals about their personal health care stories. We’re also staging press events that highlight these health care issues on our respective stops. Hope you stop by to check out our video/written blogs and keep up with the tour! The link is: www.coveramericatour.com
