The War Against Counterfeit Medicine: My Story is a unique study of a global phenomenon – in which lawbreaking and profiteering prevail at the cost of human health and life – and of the ways in which this can be fought by appropriate legislation, regulation and enforcement. The challenges in countering are enormous, not least since such illicit production of food and drugs is an immensely lucrative business. Prof.Akunyili cites statistics from the World Health Organization, noting that in 2003, the worldwide sale of counterfeit drugs accounted for US$32 billion, or 10 per cent of all drug sales.
Dora Akunyili’s achievements as Director General of NAFDAC are an inspiration to everyone, in every country, who is involved in countering the proliferation of fake food and drugs. Her experiences are a message of hope. They are testimony to the commitment and courage of individuals who serve the institutions, which work to ensure that commercial profitability goes hand in hand with the safety and wellbeing of consumers.
