Stronger Quality Protection More Important Than Tariffs
I read with great interest your recent article, ‘Bahamas’ double-edged sword over medications’, featuring comments from Dr Marvin Smith and Dr Duane Sands.
Dr Smith raised valid points regarding the potential impact of the Trump administration’s pharmaceutical tariffs on drug costs and availability. However, I would like to offer a broader perspective on how these dynamics affect the Bahamian market.
Manufacturer-authorised distributors in The Bahamas source branded medications directly from respective manufacturers. These products typically enter our market through supply chains based in Central America, not in the US.
Author's summary: Tariffs are less important than quality protection in medicine.
