Unlicensed medical stores go unchecked in Sindh
Karachi: The selling of medicine is becoming more of a general trade rather than a sensitive profession and has mushroomed alarmingly as the health department is unable to implement Drug Act in Sindh province. There are scores of medical stores across the province where non-pharmacists sell medicine and only few bother to place drug selling license on their stores, which are actually fake, in far flung areas. President Pakistan Medical Association Dr. Azizullah Khan Tank talking to PPI said that the matter of medicine being sold by un-qualified pharmacists, which are more like salesmen, is on the increase while authorities seem less bothered.22 January 2008
