Excellent, and I hope this policy will help to reduce some of the counterfeit medicines from the west and save Khmer people lives.
The government itselves produced all the counterfeit medicines, counterfeit money riel and dollars,
and so many other etc... Heng Peo told the world all about the bad internal government of Cambodia.
Well, we (khmer) don't listen to convict.
shut the fuck up Ah tmil cpp youn secret agent pretend 2b khmer.
I wish there were medicines from America, but most of the meds in Cambodia are inferior. Many so called doctors are not well trained, or under equipped. Misdiagnoses are common in Cambodia, especially if done by a private doctor. Most Cambodian doctors simply prescribe anti-biotic to nearly every ailment known to man.
Many Cambodians with cancer are often misdiagnose as TB patient.
I took Tylenol 650mg in Cambodia for pain, 30-60 min later, and the pain was still there. Then, I took the one I brought from the States made by GSK. The pain's gone.
One needs to be very careful when buying the medicines in Cambodia. There is no FDA; you might end up in Toul Sleng Museum!
Talking about the stupid FDA. They failed to make the pharmaceutical companies to destroy medicines that they rejected. As a consequence, the damned rejected medicines find its way here and all over Asia and Africa ....

Thank you for our law makers for new rule on drugs rlelated issue.
However law is a two faced sharp knife.At the same time it can have a reverse effect, side effect that no body wish to have that happened.
In the climate of corruption is embedded with day to day activities where the powerful always can do so many things, the powerless become subsequently victims of it, given more opportunity to hiarachy reap more profit.Law will become more efficient if:
1-Sensible salary provided to workers, officers...etc with capability to do the job effectively, and assistance of ongoing education.
2-Allow media network to fullfil duty with guidelines provided, along with ongoing education to public.
These are mechanim to let the law practised effectively.If the laws are simply passed and useless, there is no real benefit achieved.For instance, a mother has gone through pain and agony delivered a baby and not to care for but throw her baby away.Her status is meaningless.
It is duty of care of lawmakers to ensure laws become fruitful.
