The Ministry of Public Health’s Pharmacy and Drug Control Department issued a notice asking all pharmacies in Qatar to remove products imported from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
In this regard, the inspectors of the Pharmacy and Drug Control Department will be inspecting all pharmacies to verify if the order has been implemented fully.
As a matter of fact, the order comes in line with the notice issued by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) on May 26, which required all shops and commercial complexes operating in the country to remove all consumer goods imported from blockading countries.
The decision will mainly affect the medicines and beauty products coming from these countries. Alternative products are already available in the market and pharmacies were seen removing the stock from siege countries off their shelves in line with the order and replacing them with products from other countries, as reported by The Peninsula.
