Washington — Assuring the safety of medical products imported from China, including certain antibiotics and a popular statin, is the goal of a new agreement signed in Beijing by Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt and the head of China’s State Food and Drug Administration.
The two nations are embarking on a plan to build safety into importation from the start, Leavitt said in a Dec. 19, 2007, speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. “We can’t inspect everything,” he noted. “We need to know who to trust.”
