Uganda’s black market for expired drugs: when medicine becomes a hustle

On Weird Geo Economy, we expose how desperation shapes underground economies — and in Uganda, that means buying expired drugs on the street like candy. This episode dives into the shocking world of Uganda’s expired medicine trade, a thriving black market where pills past their use-by dates are stolen from hospitals, repackaged, and sold to the public — sometimes with new fake labels, sometimes just as-is. With public hospitals underfunded, pharmacies unaffordable, and corruption baked into the system, expired antibiotics, malaria meds, and painkillers circulate like everyday groceries. Sellers set up in markets, on street corners, even outside clinics. No prescription needed — just cash and blind trust. We reveal how weak regulation, economic hardship, and broken supply chains turned expired medicine into a currency of survival. And the risk? People are taking ineffective or dangerous drugs, gambling with their health just to avoid going without treatment. This is what happens when healthcare fails and entrepreneurship turns lethal.
