Original: @ ProPublica gets a shout-out in John's most recent reporting of quality issues with generic drugs. It's a tool to look
ProPublica is being highlighted for its RX-Inspector, an online tool that lets people look up where their prescription drugs were manufactured. It comes as journalist John Oliver reported on quality problems in the generic drug industry on Last Week Tonight, drawing fresh attention to drug manufacturing oversight and supply chain transparency.
Why now: New reporting on generic drug quality issues has renewed public interest in tools to check drug manufacturing origins.
