“All medicines bring authorization from the World Health Organization (WHO), so they can’t be pirate medicines. This is how this journalist acts, it is evident that he does not love us. What happened was that there was a monopoly; important companies and pharmaceutical companies from abroad that could not sell medicines to Mexico, so the market was opened abroad because what we are interested in is having the medicines, ”said the president.

That is, one thing is that you have everything to make a good medicine, and another that you actually do it“
