Falsified Medical Products & Devices in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling falsified medical products including diagnostics, devices, and pandemic supplies across three product categories in SSA. SF medical products extend beyond medicines to RDTs, surgical supplies, PPE, and consumables; COVID-19 accelerated falsified PPE and test kits.

Parameterization Evidence
