Abstract
|
|
|
This article reviews the background, history, character, and operation of the second edition of the Korean Research-based Pharma Industry Association (KRPIA) Code of Conduct. It then compares this code of conduct with those of 36 member associations of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) and makes suggestions for improving the KRPIA Code of Conduct. The codes of conduct of the IFPMA member associations include items on interactions with patient organizations, sponsorship of continuing medical education, and fees for services such as consultations, speaking arrangements, and advisory board positions. However, these items are not included in the KRPIA code. It is argued that these gaps in the KRPIA Code of Conduct must be filled in order to improve the code.
