The report is believed to be unique in terms of the large numbers of samples collected as well as the two-step testing approach employed in the study, which included initial screening on site using Global Pharma Health Fund portable Minilabs® and full-scale quality control confirmatory testing of roughly 40 percent of the total samples at USP's headquarters in the United States.

USAID is a U.S. government agency that provides economic, development and humanitarian assistance around the world in support of the foreign policy goals of the United States. USP is a nonprofit scientific organization that sets globally recognized standards for the quality of medicines. USP's work in developing countries to improve the quality of medicines -- in large part by combating the availability of substandard and counterfeit medicines intended to treat malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis -- is implemented under the PQM Program supported by USAID.
