As such, counterfeit pharmaceuticals pose a direct threat to national and international security.

To identify procurement processes (of medicines) within Ghana Health Service. 2. To identify the role of procurement officer in the procurement of medicines. 3. To identify the tools procurement officers use to ensure that the medicines they procure are counterfeit free. | en_US |
