Amsterdam: Health Action International 1994

Abstract:
Unethical promotion is a serious problem everywhere but it is most acute in developing countries where regulatory control is frequently weak. This short monograph gives a brief history of the Ethical Criteria and goes on to suggest a plan of action at the 47th World Health Assembly for increasing the use of the Ethical Criteria.
