Health Minister says Central Bank started green lighting accumulated permissions to import medicines

Caretaker Minister of Public Health Dr. Hamad Hasan’s press office said on Friday that the MOH was informed yesterday that the Central Bank has begun green lighting accumulated permissions to import medicines - amounting to 1,800 bills - that have been previously approved by the ministry of health.

"Accordingly, the Ministry requires of importing companies to start disbursing the stocked medicines and importing new shipments as of today," the statement said.

The importing agents’ warehouses, in addition to general medicine warehouses, will be under direct supervision, as well as electronic and field tracking, with the support of the ministerial inspection and competent regulatory bodies.
