Trade in counterfeit and illegal medical products ( medicinal products and medical devices ) is increasing worldwide.

The reasons are the high profits paired with a low risk of prosecution for the traders.

According to a report published by the WHO in 2006, the incidence of counterfeit medicines is less than 1% of the market value in most industrialised countries with effective regulatory control mechanisms.

Der Handel mit gefälschten und illegalen Heilmitteln nimmt weltweit zu.

Gründe dafür sind die hohen Gewinne bei gleichzeitig geringem Risiko für eine strafrechtliche Verfolgung für die beteiligten Händler.

In einem 2006 publizierten Bericht hat die WHO Schätzungen veröffentlicht, dass in den meisten industrialisierten Ländern mit effizienten Marktkontrollsystemen der Anteil von gefälschten Arzneimitteln unter 1% des Gesamtmarktes liegt.
