The decision was taken by the Pharmaceutical Licensing Committee at the ministry at a meeting chaired by Dr Amin Al Amiri, Executive Director for the ministry's medical Affairs and Licensing Department.

The move came as a result of inspection visits carried out by the ministry's inspectors to clinics, healthcare centres, herbal drug shops and physiotherapy centres across the country to ensure their compliance with rules.
