About 90% of pharmacies in Liberia are selling stolen medicine donated by aid organisations, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) says. BBC News, Kano
USAID Mission Director Jim Wright at the weekend said such "acts of fraud" prevent Liberians from receiving donated essential medicines. The driver is due to appear in court on a charge of reckless driving, police say.
“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.
