Me parece muy fuera de poco este articulo. Puerto Rico es un valuarte farmaceutico en donde los estandares de calidad sobrepasan los de muchas localidades en USA. Si vemos las warning letters de FDA del San Juan District al hacer un search within results de cGMP para sacar las cartas de servicios de mamografia, panaderias, ect y tener solo las pharma, solo hay unas 35 mientras que en New Jersey hay mas de 80.

For some time, in Puerto Rico we have been hearing about the Gas Pipeline project or the Green Way.

Acabo de leer que Pfizer adquirio la farmaceutica Wyeth. Las dos multinacionales poseen grandes facilidades en PR. Crees que la adquisicion de Wyeth por Pfizer sera de beneficio para PR? O cree que Pfizer cerrara o consodilara operaciones de Wyeth-Pfizer debido a esta compra?
