A report prepared by the London-based International Policy Network (INP) could be greatly responsible for shaping the anti-Indian generics policy mindset that many of the African countries have either adopted in recent past or are in the process of adopting. This report, ‘Keeping it real: combating the spread of fake drugs in poor countries’, is learnt to be in wide circulation among the African countries and is being referred to. The governments of these countries conclude that India and China seem to be the largest producer of fake medicine.
