WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health officials are making a high-tech screening device available in Africa to help combat counterfeit malaria pills in hopes that the technology may eventually be used worldwide.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday a U.S. developed scanner will be used in Ghana to screen for fake versions of two common malaria pills. If the effort is successful, the agency hopes to mass produce the device on an international scale.
