The Extent Of The Problem • Counterfeit medicines, foods and healthcare products are killing people • Counterfeit auto parts and electrical goods are killing people • Counterfeit cement is causing buildings to collapse and so killing people • Counterfeit agricultural products cause crops to fail resulting in starvation and death • Counterfeit goods of all kinds destroy businesses, causing loss of jobs and loss of hope for a better future • Problems which, in any environment, would be acute are more so in Africa.
