The counterfeit drug problem is a $320 billion market with over 1 million deaths per year. Yet, there is currently little interest for developing countries in putting counterfeit medicine as an issue on the global agenda because the ecosystem that is needed to support such innovation is too great and the return on investment too little. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Well Done ! Amy 我們為妳感到開心驕傲！加油💪
I once also encountered fake drugs at a hospital in India. My mother took diabetes medicine and the doctors claimed it would heal her, but because it was fake, her condition never got better. This is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. Thank you for sharing your solution and bringing light to this issue. The work is very important.
Learning something new every day. It blows my mind that this is such a big problem in the world! Thank you for making us aware
what an amazing talk
What an angel. God bless her ~
What about for the countries that do not have internet connection? Will they be able to authenticate their medicines..

I have no disrespect to the speaker about the content. However, I (and a good bit of the TEDx organizers) are shocked when the speaker did literally the same thing 6 days apart in real time! That is the key reason I give this a thumbs down. This should not be encouraged!
My opinion is- I understand the purpose of recycling. I do it sometimes with my professional presentations globally in occupational therapy in autism. After all, I am a busy person and I travel around the world. However, I do my best to keep my content fresh.
TEDx stage is different. It should be treated with respect. I am a 2 time speaker myself. However, even though the subject area was the same for my second speech, the type of content was a 180 in terms of setting perspective is concerned. When I learned that this speaker spoke the exact same thing, I was mad. She literally took away an opportunity from somebody in the event's local community who is deserving to speak on this platform. That to me is selfish... even if the idea is a very major problem in society.
If a person gets invited multiple times, he/she should have fresh content every time. It either requires major changes in perspective, updates in current level of evidence, or just a completely different area in general.
