The United Nations' International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) Annual Report, released Thursday, March 1, calls on member countries to tighten up laws to curb the illegal manufacture and sale of fake medicines.
According to the most recent assessment by the World Health Organization (WHO), between 10 and 30 per cent of drugs used in developing countries are counterfeit.
Last November, WHO launched the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce (IMPACT) to fight the growing trade in counterfeit drugs. IMPACT's first meeting takes place in Prague on the 13th of March.
