DCE cautions residents against fake and expired drugs

Mr Albert Akoka, District Chief Executive for Garu-Tempane in the Upper East Region, has called on people in the district to be wary of expired and fake drugs on the market.

He told the GNA in an interview that the Ghana Standards Authority and the Food and Drugs Authority should step up their education programmes to curb the sale of these drugs.

Mr Akoka said these drugs were often sold to people in the rural communities and that the Assembly was prepared to partner with institutions, groups or individuals to stop the practice.
