About 90% of pharmacies in Liberia are selling stolen medicine donated by aid organisations, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) says. | |
USAID Mission Director Jim Wright at the weekend said such "acts of fraud" prevent Liberians from receiving donated essential medicines. | |
“That is unacceptable. That means that medicine is only available to patients that have enough money to buy them,” Mr Wright said. | |
Following the revelation, six Liberian civil groups have launched a national media campaign aimed at monitoring the distribution of aid medical supplies and raising awareness that donated medicines are free and should not be sold. | |
Mr Wright called for increased accountability, including the prosecution of those guilty of stealing and selling donated health supplies. | |
The Liberian authorities are yet to comment on this matter. | |
