While medical supplies on the streets are usually cheaper than those at formal and registered health facilities, products on the roads are associated with adverse health.

Some products will be counterfeits and can cause irreversible health hazards.

Medical products, like other products including food, flooded the parallel market in the past two decades mainly due to the collapse of the local industry.

Members of the public buy on the streets as they can’t afford services provided by private health practitioners while public health institutions will be in short supply of required goods and services.

The government has in the past two years, however, beefed up efforts to revive the once vibrant economy and the health sector.
