In Kenya the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya estimates that 30% of all medicines sold are counterfeit, or substandard with anti-malaria and antibiotics being the most commonly falsified drugs. BBC’s Life Clinic explores how counterfeit drugs are making their way into the Kenyan market with potentially fatal consequences.
