This has led to a totally unregulated culture of lobbying by pharmaceutical companies, desperate to get doctors to take notice of their prescription drugs. Sometimes, these lobbying efforts take the form of free pens or magazines and leaflets, but other times, they include far more expensive free gifts and even exotic holidays under the guise of inviting doctors to so called “conferences.” encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/unhealthy-relationship-between-big-pharmaceuticals-and-small-doctors-8591827 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
