Responding to the Pandemic of Falsified Medicines	2015-06-03		.txt	text/plain	4208	201	39	15 The U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) has published a report "Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs." 16 The IOM recommendations to "stem the global trade" in such products are laudable in advising that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and other U.S. and international pharmaceutical and financing agencies be more actively involved in setting standards and financing improvements; yet this report falls far short of making a strong call for standardized, agreed-upon quality assessment technologies; an international law convention; and a more activist, internationally recognized lead organization, all three of which are essential for stopping the many health threats of fake drugs.	./cache/cord-256852-lrz17bdx.txt	./txt/cord-256852-lrz17bdx.txt
