I mean, I don't think you're enforcing patent law in South Sudan regardless, but they're also just not capable of manufacturing such drugs. To get a trustworthy drug, they pretty much have to buy it from the patent-holder. India, China, and maybe Brazil are about the only exceptions. Theoretically, I guess you could say we just expect the third-world to rely on black market medicine from India, but uh, that has some risks involved.

Is it really the black market?

It just sounds like it's sourced from somewhere else like any generic would be.

IMO the state should be able to take away monopolies just as easily as it passes them out in the first place.
