Video launched to counter counterfeit medicine The World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) has launched a video as part of its “Counter the counterfeits” project. It is the latest work in the alliance’s long-running campaign to protect people from substandard or falsified medicines and medical devices. In the video the question "Would you be able to tell a real medicine from a fake one?" is being posed to the public, health care professionals and policymakers. Viewers are then asked to choose between two products and subsequently shown the consequence of their decision: the person either recovers or ends up in hospital. The project was led by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP). “We’re seeing an increase in fake medicines around the world and they’re becoming harder to identify thanks to technological advances. We wanted, through this video, to confront people with a situation to which little thought is often given” said Mr Luc Besançon, Chief Executive Officer of FIP.
