Haiti Deploys Border Surveillance Teams to Counterfeit Medicine Smuggling
Haitian authorities deployed a specialized team of health workers and inspectors to the Ouanaminthe-Dajabón border on Monday, August 3. The mission is tasked with monitoring and controlling the entry of medicines and consumer products to prevent the influx of counterfeit goods, which pose a severe threat to public health. The move comes as gang violence in Gressier killed ten taxi drivers on July 31 and voter registration efforts continue under intense security.
