VOICED : Senegalese app fights medicine waste and fakes

The video discusses the Jocko Sante app, which rewards patients in Senegal for returning unused medication. Launched in 2015, the project aims to reduce waste and combat counterfeit drugs, which are prevalent due to lack of health insurance.

The initiative is being piloted in a children's hospital, with potential for national expansion.
