According to reports, some kids in Egypt have perished after receiving phony medications by mistake.
One instance included a two-year-old child who had a high temperature who passed away after hospital staff administered medications that turned out to be fake.
Although the issue is widespread, Egyptian media report that more than $160 million worth of bogus drugs have been seized there in the last month alone.
According to a recent report from the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, up to 300,000 youngsters die each year from using fake medications.
