Medicines represent the vibrant spirit of patients and their mismanagement and storage in Al Geneina Hospital and in places that do not meet the conditions set by the laws of the Ministry of Health itself cause great risks for those taking unfit medicines, but due to neglect of the medicine and its poor storage in stores or pharmacies, it leads to a change in the composition of the chemical substance Its composition is broken, which leads to the ineffectiveness of the drug substance, the patient who has to buy the drug does not realize that there is a greater risk than the expiration date is poor storage, which has no signs or signs indicating its corruption as a result of its poor storage that may lead to serious risks that the patient may not know The newspaper had a pause with The issue of ill-storing medicines in Al-Geneina Hospital’s store and who is responsible for them, and about the conditions for storing them and are they subject to the required specifications and conditions, and is there any follow-up by those concerned with health about this in the Ministry of Health or not?
* The black market and poor oversight
Al-Geneina market (Ramla) is one of the most famous markets for selling medicines, which are unlicensed markets where types of painkillers, malaria medicines, and medicines for all diseases are sold. This is considered very dangerous, especially since the sale of medicines from people who are not scientifically qualified and not knowing the side effects of medicines may cause With serious complications, according to what he said after the pharmacists in Al-Geneina Hospital, a drug dealer said that he preferred to withhold his name despite the drawbacks of the stores, but that they have advantages in the Ramla market, and the medicines come out from the hospital’s stores in a hidden way and are taken into the neighborhoods after which we arrange to take them and sell them in the market. Distributors, delegates and others are given discounts that are greater than discounts for companies, and he said, we find some dealers trading drugs that are prohibited to sell except by a doctor.
The pharmacist (R.M.) confirmed that the mismanagement in the hospital contributed to the sale of medicines to the community and pharmacies at prices lower than the pharmaceutical companies and without official bills. He said stores are the main reason for the crisis and the shortage of important medicines, and stores are the back door for the distribution of medicines and the supervisory authorities do not always reach To her, we ask the Ministry of Health to monitor stores and increase and tighten control over them to ensure their compliance with health, environmental and technical requirements and all legal procedures stipulated in the law for establishing drug stores with the necessity to apply permanent control over store managers.
* The risk is greater than expired drugs
Fate allowed us to enter the stores of El Geneina Hospital, and it was a shock for us, when we found her condition miserable, the floor was full of dust and dirt and untidy and with a lot of waste, and we saw the medicine cartons that are distributed to the citizens of the state lying on the ground and filled with dust and completely open, as we found piled cartons of medicines On top of each other, and there are no shelves to put them, as for the rest of the medicines, the spider was built in homes in them and the mouse eats intravenous solutions, while some medicines were stored in the orthopedic ward, and this part is better than the other part, although it does not meet the specifications. We carried what we saw in the stores to the director of the pharmacy department in my hospital El Geneina, Dr. Rayan Ahmed Al-Mustafa, who confirmed the existence of two stores in the hospital in a completely collapsed state from all sides, pointing to the unfit environment for storage and failure to follow up on health stakeholders to the stores, and she said there are no minimum specifications in the hospital's stores to be subject to the conditions required for storage from a false ceiling next to the ceramic floor and continuous air conditioning She added that there are mice and land inside the store, which causes great loss and danger in using them. Mice, even if they want to administer medicine to a patient, not contain them from the ground and the spider's web) and expressed their great regret for the lack of response from the hospital administration and the Ministry of Health to address this collapse, and appealed to health organizations to save Al-Geneina Hospital stores.
