Access to medicines in the context of the right-to-health framework 2013, para. 62
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Poor quality medicines are genuine products that do not meet quality specifications due to poor manufacturing practices. They can cause drug resistance, adverse effects and even death. Contrary to popular belief, recent studies indicate that there may be fewer poor quality medicines on the market than previously estimated. A potential explanation for this could be the tendency to conflate poor-quality with counterfeit medicines.
