"Over 1 in 10 medicines in low- & middle-income countries is either substandard or falsified. Last year alone, WHO issued 11 alerts globally. While this threat is global, #Africa bears the heaviest burden"-@DrTedros at the @InitiativeLome launch

"Since 2012, WHO has issued 35 alerts of substandard & falsified products. Over 2/3 of these alerts have been issued in #Africa, primarily for ineffective or unsafe antibiotics & antimalarials"-@DrTedros #FakeDrugsRealCrimepic.twitter.com/WjLHyqsfg9
"At best, these [substandard & falsified] 
fail to treat or prevent disease, wasting precious resources & exploiting the hopes & fears of vulnerable people.
At worst, they kill and fan the flames of drug resistance, putting all of us at risk"-@DrTedros #FakeDrugsRealCrimepic.twitter.com/EBO64LAbpP
"There are several reasons for this problem.
Lack of access to affordable forces desperate people to buy medicines from unreliable sources.
Lack of good governance allows corruption to penetrate health systems & leaves loopholes for criminal groups to exploit
..."-@DrTedrospic.twitter.com/59Wjw5rPPT
"...
Lack of technical capacity undermines the integrity of supply chains and limits the ability of countries to safeguard the health of their people"-@DrTedros #FakeDrugsRealCrimepic.twitter.com/MmlKuCwqI4
"One of the biggest obstacles to improving access to medical products in #Africa is the lack of strong national regulatory systems. To address that, all @_AfricanUnion countries signed a treaty at the AU Summit last year to create an African Medicines Agency"-@DrTedrospic.twitter.com/npPnsZG1HP
"In an increasingly globalized 
, no one country has sufficient resources & capacity to effectively regulate the whole supply chain for health products.
Substandard & falsified are a shared problem. We must work together on shared solutions"-@DrTedros #FakeDrugsRealCrimepic.twitter.com/cRP4WxeawY
"The prize we are working for is not just fewer bad medicines on pharmacy shelves.
The prize we are working for is a healthier Africa.
A safer Africa.
A more prosperous Africa"-@DrTedros

Wake up call for the official drug custodians: Pharmacists where are you???
Much more impact in terms of lives lost in these countries but less press coverage, less interesting than luv island 
We also need WHO alerts when countries are below minimum stock levels on essential diagnostics,drugs and public health chemicald
