Malaria medications valued at almost $2.3 million may have been stolen from government-run distribution centers in Africa and other locations, according to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The organization, founded in 2002, paid for the medicines and is investigating whether drug thefts are increasing worldwide as it quantifies its missing inventory, Jon Liden, a spokesman for the Geneva-based Global Fund, said in a telephone interview.
