      abstract = {Drugs play a crucial role in saving lives, restoring  health, and preventing diseases and epidemics. But they  need to be safe, efficacious, of good quality, and used  rationally. This means that their production,  import/export, storage, supply and distribution should be  subject to government control through prescribed norms and  standards and an effective regulatory system. Substandard  and counterfeit drugs proliferate primarily in an  environment where drug regulation has proved ineffective.  This publication presents a synthesis of studies on drug  regulation carried out in 10 countries: Australia.},
