ASPA Calls for Robust Consumer Awareness Campaigns to Combat Counterfeiting in Pharma
India, May 08th, 2024 – The Authentication Solution Providers’ Association (ASPA), a proactive advocate in the fight against counterfeiting, spearheads a robust public awareness campaign, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. Recognising the urgent need to address the escalating threat of counterfeit drugs and medical devices, ASPA is leading the charge in educating consumers. Through collaborative efforts, ASPA aims to raise awareness about the grave risks associated with counterfeit products, including potential health hazards, treatment inefficacies, and long-term complications. By leveraging various communication channels, ASPA endeavors to inform consumers about common counterfeiting tactics and empower them to identify and avoid fraudulent products effectively.
ASPA, in its proactive engagement with prominent pharmaceutical stakeholders like Mankind Pharma, is steadfastly addressing the critical issue of counterfeit medications. ASPA is working diligently to confront this pressing challenge through collaborative dialogues and information exchange. ASPA aims to pioneer innovative solutions and strategies to combat counterfeiting effectively by forging strategic partnerships within the pharmaceutical sector. Central to this endeavor is promoting advanced authentication and traceability solutions such as holograms, blockchain technology, and security labels. These cutting-edge technologies empower consumers to verify the authenticity of pharmaceutical products swiftly, thereby mitigating the risk of inadvertently purchasing counterfeit medications.
Furthermore, by empowering the public to engage actively in the battle against counterfeiting, ASPA endeavors to establish a safer and more secure pharmaceutical supply chain. To bolster its message, ASPA will host an online webinar titled “PharmaGuard: Navigating Counterfeiting Challenges in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain” on May 17. This webinar promises to offer valuable insights into the intricate landscape of combating counterfeiting within the pharmaceutical industry.
“We believe that a multi-faceted approach is essential to combat counterfeiting” said Manoj Kochar, President of ASPA. “By educating consumers about the dangers of counterfeit drugs and medical devices, we can empower them to make informed decisions and avoid falling prey to counterfeit products. We are committed to working with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and consumer advocacy groups to launch a comprehensive public awareness initiative that protects the health and well-being of consumers.”
Counterfeiting is a significant concern in India’s pharmaceutical industry, driven by supply chain issues and demand gaps. Despite being a leading global manufacturer of generic medicines, challenges like limited healthcare access, poor supply chains, and high costs fuel the spread of counterfeit drugs, especially for lifestyle diseases. According to a consumer survey, about 25% of respondents opt for counterfeit pharmaceuticals due to the unavailability of genuine brands and lower prices.

3rd anniversary of Colonial Pipeline Attack: Comment from Marty Edwards, Deputy CTO for OT/IoT, Tenable
“The cybersecurity attack on Colonial Pipeline was a clear demonstration of how disruptions of privately-owned infrastructure can have a massive economic impact. Since then, we’ve seen countless other high-profile cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure. In 2023 alone, IC3 received 1,193 complaints indicating critical infrastructure organizations were victims of ransomware attacks. These are voluntary reports, the actual number of attacks is unknown – and likely much higher.
Efforts to infiltrate the underlying systems that support not only our daily lives but also our economies are emerging as an acute national security risk. These attacks are being executed by ransomware gangs and well-funded global adversaries that don’t share Western values. Last month, cybersecurity researchers linked a January 2024 attack on a Texas water facility to Sandworm, an infamous Russian threat group.
There is a clear and present threat that we cannot afford to ignore.
While organizations have become increasingly transparent about incidents as they happen or soon after, we need transparency now to prevent future catastrophic cyberattacks. We’ve witnessed the success of this collaboration in action after the attack on Unitronics PLCs in Aliquippa, PA. Industries and government officials have demonstrated they know how to work together, but collectively we have to be open and dedicated to continuing this practice.”- Marty Edwards, Deputy CTO for OT/IoT, Tenable
