The World Medical Association wants all websites offering unregulated medical products to be shut down.
The association, which is an international and independent confederation of free professional medical associations representing physicians worldwide, believes that there should be stricter regulations imposed on businesses selling medical products.
It proposes action to tackle the problems of availability, quality and safety of medicines by calling for international prevention campaigns to raise awareness of the health risks of buying and using counterfeit drugs and how to identify fake medical products. It wants all websites illegally offering medical products not controlled by state health authorities shut down as quickly as possible.
