Documentary about the increasing problem of fake medical drugs.
In Nigeria in 2003, four babies and children died after they underwent
cardiac surgery in a top teaching hospital where the adrenalin drips
they had been fed with contained fake drugs.
But it's not just a problem for the developing world - in Britain,
counterfeits have been found in high street pharmacies and a fake
diazepam and Viagra factory was discovered in Wembley.
