Why this report?Consider this: Fake Drugs Quote 1.1. "Fake drugs are more deadly than terrorism. Forty years of terrorism, has killed 65,000 people globally, compared with 200,000 in one year alone in China from counterfeit medicines." Ronald Noble, Interpol's Secretary-General Opening Remark to an Anti-Counterfeiting Conference in Africa"Copied from: ttps: //www.slideshare.net/AlanClock/Fake-Drugs-1509-v2Now if that is what fake and counterfeit medicines have done in ONE COUNTRY, IMAGINE HOW MANY PERSONS IT KILLS IN A YEAR WORLD-WIDE.. For the avoidance of doubt, bring out your map and check. You will find that there are over two hundred independent and non independent countries in the world. In the absence of global statistics on the issue, extrapolate the China figure a little and you will agree that it is safe to assume that over a million persons die annually directly and indirectly from the effects of fake and counterfeit drugs or medicines. The above is not the only harm fake and counterfeit drugs and medicines do. Let us mention a few here so that we can better appreciate the danger of this terrible practice.2.Counterfeit medicines make people doubt the integrity of professional healthcare practitioners. The common man does not know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. All they know is that they went to one hospital or the other and they were given medicines that did not walk or that killed their relatives. So they lose faith in medicines generally.3.Counterfeit medicines deny legitimate medicine manufacturers, dealers and retailers their genuine livelihood. According to the World Health Organization [WHO] 70% of the world medicine trade particularly in Africa are either counterfeit or fake. Due to the fact that counterfeit medicines are often cheaper, people ignorantly go for them.To further buttress the point above, Newsweek magazine reported in an article written by Alexandra Ossoala, in the 17/9/15 edition said: "Task forces are finding more fake drugs every year. Interpol's flagship pharmaceutical investigation, Operation Pangea, for example, says it seized 2.4 million fake and illicit pills in 2011; in 2015, the total number of pills and other medications that officials seized jumped to 20.7 million"4.Families and people who die of fake and counterfeit drugs become highly traumatized. This creates additional problems for mankind.5.Counterfeit medicine create doubt in the mind of medical doctors when they know that the right treatment has been applied but do not get the right results.And so on and so forth. These sins are so much that we can spend the whole day on it. So many health practitioners have said times without number that medicine counterfeiters are nothing but murderers and should be treated as such.The problem is how do you know them? We must not be deceived by the occasional apprehension of some small fries and foot soldiers. Most of those so far arrested are retailers. How did the fake or counterfeit medicine hit the street? Who are the real barons behind this trade.My investigation puts me in a position to tell you who the real offenders are and until they are confronted and their operations audited, the world will continue to feel the pains of counterfeit drugs.I have no plan to beat about the bush here. This report will hit the nail on the head and call a spade a spade. And I know who the 'spade' is as you will found out in the course of reading this little but vital report.
