Sale of expired, spurious drugs on rise in Afghanistan
KABUL: Seeking treatment for her grandmother is an experience Nilab will never forget. The 20-year-old from the central Logar province had brought her grandmother to Kabul for treating a fever in late July. The 70-year-old passed away after she began medication.
"She was fine until the night before," said Nilab. "We took her to a doctor and after she began taking medicines, her nails and lips turned blue, she died as we tried to get her to a doctor again," she added.
