Professor Peter C. Gøtzsche co-founded the Cochrane Collaboration, and established the Nordic Cochrane Centre in 1993.[1][2]
His membership in Cochrane was terminated by its Governing Board of Trustees on 25 September 2018.[3]
“Bribery is routine and involves large amounts of money. Almost every type of person who can affect the interests of the industry has been bribed: doctors, hospital administrators, cabinet ministers, health inspectors, customs officers, tax assessors, drug registration officials, factory inspectors, pricing officials and political parties. In Latin America, posts as ministers of health are avidly sought, as these ministers are almost invariably rich with wealth coming from the drug industry. In the beginning of this chapter, I asked the question whether we are seeing a lone bad apple now and then, or whether pretty much the whole basket is rotten. What we are seeing is organised crime in an industry that is completely rotten.”
