Abstract

This article provides insights into the detection, investigation and prosecution of counterfeit medical products in Slovenia and abroad. The article summarizes the reports of Interpol and the European Union’s activities in this area. It also uses the opinions and insights of experts in the field provided through interviews. While the scope of the problem surrounding counterfeit medical products has been increasing globally, the issue is not alarming in Slovenia. Counterfeit medical products (CFMP) were never found to enter the legal supply chain in Slovenia. In general, the incidence of counterfeit medical products in the scope of detection, investigation and prosecution is extremely low. The reasons for this may be in the ongoing debates about the definition of CFMPs and the continuing lack of public awareness about counterfeit medical products. If the public does not understand or even know about counterfeit medical products, they will fail to report potential encounters with them, thus making their detection even more difficult. The research study presented in this paper has (partly) confirmed that a sound and socially-oriented healthcare system in which the required medicines are widely available represents a deterrent against counterfeit medical products. Therefore, the legislative framework supporting such a system is most important.
斯洛文尼亚假冒医疗产品的检测和调查*
本文对斯洛文尼亚国内外假冒医疗产品的检测、调查和起诉提供了见解。文章概述了国际刑警组织和欧洲联盟在这一领域的活动报告。它还利用了该领域专家通过访谈提供的意见和见解。尽管围绕假冒医疗产品的问题在全球范围内不断扩大,但斯洛文尼亚的这一问题并不令人担忧。在斯洛文尼亚,从未发现假冒医疗产品进入合法供应链。一般来说,假冒医疗产品在检测、调查和起诉范围内的发生率极低。造成这种情况的原因可能是关于CFMP定义的持续辩论,以及公众对假冒医疗产品的认识持续缺乏。如果公众不了解甚至不知道假冒医疗产品,他们将无法报告可能遇到的情况,从而使其检测更加困难。本文中的研究(部分)证实,一个健全且面向社会的医疗保健系统,其中所需药物广泛可用,代表着对假冒医疗产品的威慑。因此,支持这一制度的立法框架是最重要的。
