Eli Lilly 'deeply concerned' over allegations of bribing doctors in China

of malpractice to hit rivals

Eli Lilly, a key provider of drugs to the National Health Service, has become the latest western pharmaceutical group to become embroiled in allegations of malpractice in China.
The US company said it was "deeply concerned" about claims it paid Rmb30m (£3m) to doctors to prescribe its diabetic treatments in Shanghai. GlaxoSmithKline, the UK's largest drug company, has seen four of its Chinese executives arrested over bribery allegations and a British consultant who worked for GSK was formally arrested earlier this week.
The allegations against Eli Lilly were made by a former Chinese sales manager for Eli Lilly in China's 21st Century Business Herald newspaper, prompting the company to admit that it was aware of similar allegations made last year by a former sales manager in the same region.
