Malaria drugs recalled in Kenya
A Chinese pharmaceutical firm plans to recall thousands of anti-malarial drugs supplied to Kenya after discovering a counterfeit syndicate.
The vice-president of Holley-Cotec Pharmaceuticals said 20,000 doses of Duo-cotecxin will be removed from sale.
He told the BBC an analysis of the counterfeit product showed it had very low active ingredients and patients taking it would not be cured.
