Dying From Sickness And “Cure”
“Pirated” medicines are proliferating and are putting the lives of millions of people at risk. Medicines, because they are necessities, are getting more expensive and becoming easy targets for unscrupulous activities of organized crime groups. Fake drugs already ranks fourth among the more common counterfeit activities. While multinationals keep mum so as not to alarm consumers in rich countries, families in Africa and Southern Asia buy smuggled medicines at much cheaper prices, sometimes at the cost of human lives.
