He's determined to make sure that his experience doesn't happen to anyone else and has invented a simple device which spots fake drugs. "In Africa specifically it's very acute - in some countries between 30-50 per cent of the medicine supply chain is actually counterfeit," Adebayo tells us. "My hope is that across Africa more and more hospitals, pharmacies and wholesalers will be able to authenticate the quality of their medicines so that only the highest quality medicines eventually end up in the hands of patients."
