And, again, we come right back to the issue of the quality of the prescription drugs you may be getting. He says they have tested drugs that are on the market:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"While we don't do in country testing, the mechanism that we have set in place of having a GNP, a CPP and COA is precisely to avoid that situation, because if you have a product that has a GNP, a CPP and COE, those become your documents in terms of protection for the patient because then you are assured that medication has gone through all those standards that we perhaps are not able to check in Belize. Two, we have done routine and random checks of medications that are circulating in the Belize market."

"And the last 5 samples that were checked earlier this year all passed, all passed, all the requirements that are needed for those generic medications to be in country."
