KAMPALA - Health leaders from seven African countries are meeting on Friday to sign an agreement criminalising trafficking in fake drugs.
Tens of thousands of people in Africa die each year because of fake and counterfeit medication.
The representatives from The Republic of Congo, Gambia, Ghana, Niger, Senegal, Togo and Uganda are hoping that law specifically targeting fake medications will do the trick.
