Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) – Kabul: The press office of the Ministry of Public Health issued a press release saying that this monitoring was carried out by officials of the public health departments of these two provinces.
According to the press release, during this monitoring, 15 expired medicines were collected in Daikundi province and one inspection house was sealed due to lack of documents and one wholesale medicine store was sealed due to illegal activity in Khost province.
Also, 2.5 tons of expired food were seized in Khost province and transferred to the central warehouse so that their destruction can be carried out in accordance with health standards.
According to local sources, these inspections included examining the storage conditions of food and medicine, controlling expiration dates, and observing health standards in stores and wholesalers.
Public health officials have warned that selling expired food and medicine is not only a threat to people's health, but is also considered a crime, and violators will be referred to the legal authorities in accordance with the law.
Health experts believe that these inspections play an important role in preventing the spread of diseases and maintaining public health.
According to experts, collecting expired products and sealing illegal centers will increase people's trust in the health system and strengthen effective supervision of the food and medicine market.
Studies show that continuing such monitoring measures can prevent spoiled products from entering the market and causing widespread health problems.
