Hospitals, nursing homes, retail pharmacies, and consumers all throw away drugs, with hospitals alone throwing away over $800 million in drugs each year. If we can modify it to work around it, it will be beneficial to the African and Asian continents, particularly in the peripheral outreach health centres in Africa where medicine availability and storage are a challenge.
