Malawi alert on fake drugs [[Lilongwe, Malawi]]

Government has said it would from this month
intensify border checks on drugs coming into the country to control the
proliferation of fake and counterfeit drugs.
The move comes after
reports of counterfeit and fake versions of malaria drug artesunate,
commonly known as LA, in Kenya where police reportedly struck and
seized hundreds of thousands of the fake drugs and also arrested key
dealers last year.
