3rd Annual Anti-Corruption for Pharma And Life Sciences 2010
March 11 - 12, 2010(Ended)Sofitel London St James Hotel
London, United Kingdom
London, United Kingdom
The healthcare industry is coming under ever increasing scrutiny from regulators, both in the US and Europe, and the level of penalties are severe. In September 2009, Pfizer paid $1.3 billion, the largest criminal fine ever imposed in the United States, for the off-label marketing of Bextra and three other drugs. Pfizer paid an additional $1 billion in civil penalties resulting from the same illegal activities.Whilst anti-corruption compliance is an issue for all major industry sectors, Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device companies are finding themselves particularly vulnerable when specific practices and industry customs are placed under the microscope. In the last 6 years, U.S. prosecutors have brought more than a dozen cases against drug makers for off-label marketing alone and won more than $6 billion in criminal and civil settlements. Estimates indicate that there are currently more investigations underway by the SEC and DOJ combined against medical device manufacturers than any other industry.
