Vested interests in counterfeit drugs [[Nairobi, Kenya]]

Counterfeit drugs are
flooding into Africa, where up to one in three medicines can be fake,
causing widespread suffering and death.

The World Health
Organisation wants an international agreement to tackle the threat but
is being thwarted by members such as India and Brazil, more concerned
with vested interests than African patients.
