Monitoring by the World Bank and others suggests the overall global trade in fake and substandard drugs is now more than $30 billion per year.(26 - 2)Experts are asking for stricter regulation and better international collaboration to check this public health menace.
    (26 - 1)Some 40 percent of the drugs available in many sub-Saharan African and South American countries are either fake or substandard—according to the research by the World Bank and international public health groups.(26 - 3)And experts say the widespread circulation of poor-quality or substandard medicines leads to frequent treatment failure and even loss of life.
