Mr Alexander K Abban, a Deputy Minister of Health (MoH) has hinted the Ministry's intention to set up Health Intelligence Unit to regulate the sale of fake pharmaceutical products.
He said the Unit would be a collaboration of the National Security Ministry, Ministry of Finance and the MoH and would pick intelligence on the infiltration of fake and substandard medicines on the market.
He noted that "fake medication was a threat to the life of the citizenry and that, a threat to one's life was a threat to all."
Mr Abban also advised the media to seek verification on the advertisement of products from the Food and Drugs Authority before they aired or published in the public domain.
