Consultant calls for independent inquiry into FDA, Tobinco war

Dr Derrick Owusu-Ampofo, an Economic Consultant on Friday called for independent investigation into the apparent “war” between Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and Tobinco Pharmaceutical Limited.

He suggested the need for the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Trade to initiate the joint investigation since the posturing of the two bodies needs an independent probe to protect public interest.

Dr Owusu-Ampofo told newsmen in Accra that the dispute started when FDA recalled Tobinco’s Gsunate Plus Suppository.

He said almost every day FDA comes out with new list of purported fake drugs imported by Tobinco.
