World Pharmacy Day: Do efficacious medicines really benefit patients?


In conjunction with World Pharmacy Day, we look at whether or not good quality, safe and efficacious medicines really benefit patients.

Malaysia is recognised as having a very efficient and reliable regulatory framework to ensure the quality of medicines available in the country. The legal muscle for this process is provided by the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations (CDCR) 1984, the task is entrusted to the Drug Control Authority, and the work is carried out by the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau of the Health Ministry.
