Pharmaceutical companies ethics أخلاقيات الشركات الدوائية

Abstract

Pharmaceutical companies are among the most prominent business organizations -after oil companies- with their huge profits, which doubled fantastically after the Corona epidemic. It is expected that this increase in their profits will continue with the persistent risk of new epidemics. But the pursuit of abundant profit in the humanitarian field related to human health needs to respect the ethics of these companies' exercise of their activities, in order to protect people from the possibility of falling as victims of unethical practices on the part of these organizations. Based on the foregoing, the issue of the study lies in: To what extent do pharmaceutical companies respect the ethics of professional practice?

We will address this problem through the following three axes:

The first axis: Work Ethics of Pharmaceutical Research Units

The second axis: Ethics of workers in pharmaceutical companies

The third axis: Ethics of marketing pharmaceutical products
