30 years have passed since Conference of Experts on the Rational Use of Drugs was held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 25 to 29 November 1985, where the problem of counterfeit medicines was mentioned as the international for the first time. The problem of counterfeit medicines is not only a major threat to public health and national and private economy, but also it is of great interest for key decision-making actors at the international level. The authors analyzed what has been done since that time by international organizations. Combating the counterfeiting of medicines cannot be successfully achieved by the health sector alone - World Health Organization (WHO), - so the efforts of the other United Nations (UN) organizations relevant to counterfeiting were in need and were studied in the article: World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Trade Organization (WTO), World Customs Organization (WCO), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), etc. Today WHO is unable to coordinate all their activities, so the few existing proposals for establishing a new mechanism of international cooperation have been examined. Will the MEDICRIME Convention that will enter into force on January 1, 2016 be the start of the new era in the combating with the counterfeit medicines? - the authors offered their vision on the international developments.
1985年11月25日至29日，合理用药专家会议在肯尼亚内罗毕召开，自那时起已过去30年。在那次会议上，假药问题首次作为一个国际性问题被提及。假药问题不仅对公众健康以及国家和私营经济构成重大威胁，而且也引起了国际层面关键决策行为体的极大关注。作者分析了自那时以来国际组织所采取的行动。仅靠卫生部门（世界卫生组织）无法成功打击假药行为，因此本文研究了联合国其他与打击假药相关的组织的努力，这些组织包括世界知识产权组织、世界贸易组织、世界海关组织、联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室等。如今，世界卫生组织无法协调它们所有的活动，因此作者审视了现有的几项关于建立新的国际合作机制的提议。将于2016年1月1日生效的《反假药公约》会成为打击假药新时代的开端吗？作者阐述了他们对国际形势发展的看法。
