The Organization PanAfrican for Health Fight Against Fake Medicines (OPALS) is a dedicated non-governmental organization focused on ensuring equal access to quality healthcare across Africa. Founded through a collaboration with the Chirac Foundation, OPALS combats health disparities by promoting the use of approved medications, controlled vaccines, and certified medical devices. The organization emphasizes maternal and child health, notably in countries like Guinea, Togo, Ivory Coast, and Gabon.

OPALS engages in extensive community education and training programs aimed at preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, among other health initiatives. The organization has established referral centers, developed essential resources, and provides continuous training for healthcare teams to enhance their effectiveness in delivering health services.

Furthermore, OPALS addresses public health issues such as the management of biomedical waste and the training of local health personnel. Its commitment extends to collaborative efforts with universities and local health ministries to mobilize future health professionals against counterfeit medications, thereby ensuring a healthier future for all communities.
