Same as in India once upon a time. Although things have improved significantly. The thing is that every once in a while a scandal like this surfaces, leading to stricter controls and then things go back to square one. The issue is over regulations in developing countries were always one of the primary drivers of corruption and things get really tricky when we deal with industries like Pharma or Health. Poor people simply do not have much options, either consume cheap products or do nothing. I have observed that for a lot of non serious diseases sometimes doing nothing makes financial sense for people inadvertently.
