HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): Public health. 

According to Civil Hospital officials in Herat city, the provincial capital, poor quality or expired medicines put patients’ lives into risk.

Abdul Hakim Tamana, Herat Public Health director, told Pajhwok Afghan News that each month they seized low quality medicines across the province but still such drugs continued to be sold.

He said due to lack of government’s oversight, smuggled medicines were sent to districts and sold there, calling for tough measures to address the issue.
