The BBC Anchor used these terms mostly. He needed to be corrected and therefore, I propose that we get hold of the proceedings of the recent meeting of the Lome Initiative, analyze it, come up with our position, engage our governments before the law of policing countrfeit drugs enter into force. Lets remember, the term that says "Counterfeit drugs kills people is not also right." The big pharma is good at twisting terms but though they look insignificant they can be a matter of life and death.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Kind regards,</div><div dir="auto">Wilson Damien Asibu</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 16, 2020, 6:40 PM PHM UGANDA <<a href="mailto:phmuga@gmail.com" target="_blank">phmuga@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">
