War on imitation medicines
The State Health Department is on full alert against rampant selling of imitation medicinal products over the counter.
Assistant Minister for Public Health Datuk Dr JeripSusil, who gave this assurance, said the department’s enforcement team had been mobilised to verify and seize fake products such as medicines and toiletry items from the shelves.
“The selling of these imitation products is actually rampant as most of the products can be easily found in both the rural and urban areas. As long as there is an outlet or an avenue to sell, it will be there. It can actually be anywhere,” Dr Jerip told The Borneo Post yesterday.
