In Africa one of the many problems they are dealing with is the lack of quality drugs and trusted pharmacies, the problem is huge with many unlicensed outfits selling all sorts of medical treatments which for the most part have not been through a strict quality control process and in many instances one cannot confirm that the drugs being sold are not 'fake drugs' these typically take the format of vitamin pills re packaged as drugs or in some cases lower doses of the active ingredients.
The many outfits which sell drugs often buy these from sources which emanate out of places like India where cheap generics are very popular since patent laws do not apply in such countries and also there are less stringent government regulations controlling the business operations of producers.
However, not all Indian drug producers should be labled as bad, there are indeed many highly respected drug producers in India such as Cipla who have an outstanding reputation for providing Africa and the world with cheap high quality generic treatments.
