Pharmacists cry foul over Bill


WE refer to the announcement of the decision by the director-general of Health, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, at a meeting with the stakeholders on the tabling of the new pharmacy bill or Rang Undang-Undang Farmasi (RUUF).

We pharmacists would like to state categorically that we object and reject the proposed Bill in its current form as it will not accord any benefit to the public.
