" ... Les règles déontologiques et de comportement s'appliquant au .... Pour mémoire, cette loi est parfois appelée loi DMOS (loi n° 93-121 du 27 janvier 1993."

"La loi « DMOS »
Il existe en France une loi spéciale portant sur les relations avec les professionnels de santé (lois « anti-cadeaux »), qui interdit d’offrir à une personne quoi que ce soit qui viserait à la pousser à recommander ou acheter un produit ou un service médical (y compris les médicaments sur ordonnance) qui serait remboursé par l’Assurance Maladie. Grâce à cette disposition, lorsqu’un médecin choisit un traitement ou un médicament pour son patient, il ne peut pas être influencé par des facteurs de gain ou d’enrichissement personnel. Pour de plus amples informations, veuillez consulter le service DMOS."

Thanks AT. Yes, Sheri's research reveals more about it, like exactly what the acronym stands for.

DMOS department

I would leave DMOS as it is and include a translation/explanation in brackets. It stands for Diverses Mesures d'Ordre Social and is a set of laws specific to France. Included in the DMOS is an "anti-gift" law regulating gifts provided to healthcare professionals by pharma companies. The "service DMOS" in the source text appears to refer to the department of the sponsor that oversees compliance with the DMOS.

Thanks writeaway. I don't recall there being anything in the D box at the time I posted (and I usually check there first). If you had posted your ref. link before I posted, apologies for not acknowledging.
