Immigrants in Johannesburg turn to a black market for medicines, facing healthcare access barriers.
In Johannesburg, a black market for unregulated medicines has emerged, mainly serving immigrants who face barriers to healthcare due to documentation issues.
These immigrants buy prescription drugs like antibiotics from illegal vendors, as they are often denied access to clinics and hospitals.
The drugs are smuggled from Malawi and Zimbabwe, posing health risks and contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
Despite police raids, demand persists as immigrants struggle with access to proper healthcare.
