Doctors at Sardar Mohammad Daoud Khan Hospital have uncovered a deadly crisis involving counterfeit medicines.
Patients like Majid are fighting for their lives because the drugs meant to heal them are actually making their conditions significantly worse .
Investigations revealed that some antibiotics were fake and would not even dissolve in water, leaving dangerous sediments.
Tragically, these ineffective treatments have led to severe complications, amputations, and even deaths from simple treatable illnesses like the common cold .
This illicit trade is worth millions, with fake drugs being smuggled or produced in secret workshops across the country.
Authorities admit the challenge is immense, leaving ordinary Afghans vulnerable to this hidden danger as distinguishing real medicine from fake has become nearly impossible .
