The decision came after the inspection committees affiliated to the Medicines Inspection Department noticed that some doctors in private clinics, medical centers and dispensaries are keeping medicines and pharmaceutical products which are sold in private pharmacies — a violation of the law regulating the pharmaceutical profession and its bylaw.
