BBC article: Global alert issued over fake Ozempic drugs - WHO

20 June, 2024

Dear Neil/HIFA colleagues,

With increased access to unreliable sources for medicines it's important that alerts such as the WHO one reported in the BBC (link below) are widely circulated. Through HIFA we have access to >20,000 members around the world.
