Katherine Eban on Big Pharma’s corrupt practices

#KatherineEban is an investigative reporter and author. She has written for Vanity Fair, the New York Times, New York Observer and Nation. She’s the author of Dangerous Doses and, most recently, of #BottleofLies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom. Bottle of Lies is an extensive investigation into the practices of drug companies in the United States and several other countries.

In a conversation with Madhu Trehan, Eban talks about pharmaceutical regulations, institutionalised data forgery, perils of medical tourism, and attempts by Indian pharmaceutical executives to “game the system”.

Speaking about the pharma industry’s obsession with documenting their every move, right or wrong, Eban reveals, “In the data fraud that I documented, it’s absolutely institutionalised in the way that it does business.”
