Counterfeit Drugs Pose Problem for Kenya [[Nairobi, Kenya]]

Pharmaceutical industry officials in Kenya
estimate that at least 40 percent of the drugs sold in the East African
nation are counterfeit, with anti-malarial drugs being especially
susceptible to being faked.

Patients continue to be sick or can
even die as a result of taking counterfeit drugs, most are believed to
originate from China and India.
