LMHRA Managing Director Madam Keturah C. SmithMONROVIA – The Liberia Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority (LMHRA) has commenced a five-day awareness campaign aimed at discouraging citizens from purchasing fake, substandard and expired medicines and health products on the local market. She maintained that Liberians would be endangering their health if they continued to purchase “unaccounted” for medicines and health products being clandestinely brought into the country through land border points, and criminally sold on the Liberian market. Leave that business of selling expired or fake medicines on the streets”. The Nimba County lawmaker added that most of these street peddlers selling medicines in buckets and black bags, do not know the effect of those health products they sell. Representative Sonwarbi, however, pledged his commitment and support to help eradicate the sale of fake, expired and substandard medicines and health products on the Liberian market.
