In many small towns, medical misdiagnosis is not just a result of human error it's sometimes caused or worsened by fake or poor-quality medicines.

My mother’s hospital as past case where patients were given fake chemotherapy.

Fake medicines aren’t just a distant problem — a 2022 report by WHO said nearly 1 in 10 medical products in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or falsified.

In India, numerous raids have revealed:

• Fake chemo drugs with no active ingredients
• Antibiotics sold without regulation
• Expired or relabelled painkillers

These silent threats not only delay recovery, but can cause new side effects and lead to even more deadly misdiagnosis

I’m now also looking into real-life cases where patients were misdiagnosed because the medicines they were taking which seemed ineffective were actually

If you or someone you know has ever:

• Received suspicious medication
• Found expired or ineffective treatment in a hospital
• Suspected something “wasn’t right” in your treatment I’d love to hear your story.
