A Public Health Risk

• Counterfeiting of medical products is first and foremost a crime against patientsg p

• Fake medicines pose global public health risks leading to p g p gresistance to treatment, illness, disability and even death

• Fake medicines undermine patients’ trust in health systems and their governments, and in providers

• Patients, Governments, Health Professionals and M f ll ff d b hi lManufacturers, are all affected by this plague

C t Ch llCurrent Challenges 

D t ti f t f it di i ia. Detection of counterfeit medicines requires control of supply chain and enhanced regulatory capacityregulatory capacity

b Lack of global data and health impactb. Lack of global data and health impact assessment require regular reporting from competent authorities and other organizations

c. Robust and adapted legislative and regulatory f k i ti f tframeworks require continuous enforcement efforts at national and international level

• Identify major needs and challenges and make policy recommendationsrecommendations
