What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The health department in Pakistan issued an advisory in Islamabad stating that pharmacists securing multiple Drug Sale Licences against one professional registration is illegal and violates professional ethics. The department warned that such violations could lead to license cancellations and disciplinary proceedings. Pharmacists are now directed to restrict their licensing arrangements to a single drug sale licence linked to their professional registration.
