Interpol to fight sale of fake medicines in Africa
International police body Interpol will join the fight against the growing trade in Africa in fake drugs for tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS which threatens the lives of thousands, a senior official said Tuesday.
The agency's efforts will begin later this year and will build on its success in tackling the problem in Latin America and Southeast Asia, said John Newton, the manager of Interpol's intellectual property rights project.
