Paul introduced FORESFA (Forensic Epidemiology and impact of Substandard and Falsified Antimicrobials) and its activities, and Céline DAFODIL (DAshboard for Field-pOrtable screening Devices using scientific Literature evidence). They had an amazing opportunity to network with key stakeholders, and learn of the challenges that law enforcement, customs officers and police investigators face when trying to identify, arrest and prosecute criminals involved in falsified medicine crimes.
The attendees were particularly interested to hear about MQRG’s work on testing innovative forensics to identify clues of the origins of falsified medicines, and on the portable technologies shown on the dashboard for identification of falsified medicines.
