The coronavirus has highlighted the shortcomings in regulatory and legal frameworks aimed at preventing the manufacture and trafficking of falsified medical products around the world. Not only does this have a detrimental effect on COVID-19 related treatments, vaccines and diagnostics, but on all disease areas.
Under the theme of this year’s 3rd Fight the Fakes Week “Let’s Fight the Fakes – through the pandemic and beyond“, Fight the Fakes and partners will focus not only on the pandemic and its rise in substandard and falsified medical products, but will also continue to address the ongoing dangers patients face from fake medicines that affect all disease areas.
