A Ministry of Health official yesterday said the ministry has banned the buying and selling of antibiotics without a prescription in an effort to curb the overuse that has led to an alarming level of antibiotic resistance in the Kingdom.

 

Ly Sovann, spokesman for the Ministry of Health, said that the ministry had issued a letter on the ban, but he couldn’t provide a copy of the letter or recall the date the order was issued. He also didn’t say what enforcement measures the ministry was taking to implement the ban.

Aint gonna work, the cat is already out of the bag. Super germs are here to stay. Some are going to come via tourist, few are home grown so far.

Wonder how on earth this will be implemented given there is no prescription system in place.

 

Pharmacies stand to lose a huge junk of their business if  dispensing is limited to clinics and hospitals.
