Summary
Over the past few years, concerns have been raised about the level of funding and intervention regulators have received from the pharmaceutical industry. In this article for The BMJ, investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi examines whether regulators of medical devices and medications have enough independence from the companies they are meant to regulate. She asked six of the world's biggest regulators about their funding and transparency and found that industry money permeates the world's leading regulators. This casts doubt on their ability to provide effective regulation, especially in the wake of a string of drug and device scandals.
