Since 2018 Fight the Fakes (FTF), first as a campaign and now as an alliance, has celebrated an annual Fight the Fakes Week to raise awareness about the dangers of substandard and falsified medicines among allies, members, key global health stakeholders, and the wider public.
This year the 5th Fight the Fakes Week takes place between 5-11 December 2022. We are proposing the following theme and call to action: “KEEP PATIENTS SAFE – SECURE THE GLOBAL MEDICINES SUPPLY CHAIN”.
Substandard and falsified medicines can find their way into the supply chain in many ways: through mislabelling, human error, intentional adulteration by manufacturers or suppliers to achieve higher profits, or other more complex ways.
The latest proof comes from the World Health Organization (WHO)'s recent Medical Product Alert about four substandard products identified in The Gambia. The WHO reported that these products are potentially linked to the deaths of 66 children.
Given the complex pharmaceutical supply chain, there is a clear need for greater focus on securing the global supply chain. All the actors involved in the medicines supply chain have a role to play. But you too can join the fight against substandard and fake medicines by raising awareness!
Join Fight the Fakes Week and raise awareness about the urgent need to secure the global medicines supply chain to keep patients safe from substandard and falsified medicines

IFPW is proud to have Porzio Life Sciences as an IFPW Service Member!

Porzio’s John Oroho was featured in a recent article highlighting what’s to come for Life Science attorneys in 2021. Oroho indicated that the DOJ’s heightened interest in the Anti-Kickback Statute enforcement was long awaited and the data patterns are clear. The piece also addresses important topics including CARES Act Enforcement and the risks involved in pushing through rules and regulations.
