Three organisations have formed an alliance to fight proliferation of counterfeit malaria drugs in Kenya. The partnership between Kenya-based Mission for Essential Drugs and Supplies (MEDS), the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) and the US Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is aimed at improving access to quality and safe anti-malarial medicines.
Under the USAID-funded “Promoting the Quality of Medicines (PQM) programme” implemented by USP, the organisations will ensure safety of all marketed medical products.
