Kenyan Government Must Review Law On Counterfeit Drugs, High Court Rules
"Kenya's High Court ruled on Friday that lawmakers must review legislation that could threaten the import of generic drugs, allowing Kenyans to continue accessing affordable medicine," Reuters reports. In 2009, three people living with HIV filed a lawsuit arguing that the definition of counterfeit drugs in Kenya's Anti-Counterfeit Bill of 2008 was too broad and "unconstitutional because it threatened access to life-saving generic medicine by confusing generic and fake medicine," the news agency notes (4/20).
