"We're talking about 300,000 -- at least -- children who have died because of murder-by-alleged-medicines distributed by criminals," said Dr. Joel Breman, a co-author of the report and senior scientific adviser emeritus at the Fogarty International Center of the US National Institutes of Health.Fake drugs: The global industry putting your life at riskThe World Health Organization has defined three types of falsified and substandard medical products.
The US Food and Drug Administration estimates that"about 80% of the medicines or a component of the medicines that are available in the US come from outside the US," Deats said."It's really important that we have secure supply chains."Investing in the regulatory authorities is a key component in safeguarding supply chains," but"strong political will to tackle this issue, not just in the US but throughout the world," is also necessary, he said.
