    "content": "There is also a provision requiring whoever imports a poison to seek marketing authorisation from the board prior to bringing those substances into the country. This is also something that is very good as long as it is enforced properly. At the moment, if you look at what is happening in the country, in human and veterinary drugs, we have a lot of counterfeits that are defeating the objective of treating diseases. If you are given a counterfeit which is not effective, you run the risk of any of the organism causing diseases becoming resistant, especially to antibiotics and so on. Therefore, with these proposed amendments, I am sure as a country, we are going to be safer and our health is going to improve. I am sure that moving forward, as long as the various bodies which are set up to enforce whatever has been proposed are adequately resourced to do regulatory work, we are going to have a country where we shall get rid of counterfeits in form of drugs as well as quacks in terms of people who claim to be professionals when they are not.
