This document discusses the Partnership for Safe Medicines, an organization advocating for safe medication access. It lists over 100 member organizations and provides information on counterfeit drugs including examples during the COVID-19 pandemic of fake vaccines, testing kits, and medicines being sold. Data is presented on rising drug overdose deaths in the US driven largely by fentanyl, and examples are given of recent seizures of counterfeit pills containing fentanyl in various states and countries that are fueling the opioid crisis.
