...introduce prescription momentum into communities, and finally, platoons of sales agents (90,000 currently) arrive with catered lunches in physicians’ offices, carrying loads of starter samples. There’s nothing surprising here. That’s the way it works, and it produces marvelous disarray in the ethics, delivery, and pricing of certain health services. The physician and his employer are simply the point-of-sale brokers for drugs and devices and very readily cede their fiduciary responsibility to the marketplace.

Levin, at a press conference a day later, asserted, "Our amendment does not establish a timetable for redeployment...

I would say it has done very well because civil society has become strengthened during this process. Civil society was really in disarray under the military regime ... I lauded the creation of [two] anticorruption bodies which have made tremendous strides. There is progress in public finances. Accountability has improved. Yet you're very critical of the current Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo. Why? In his second term, he proved not to have lost...
