Health Department Bans Sale of Unlicensed Medicines at Registered Clinics

October 13, 2026 • 4 weeks ago •

ISLAMABAD: The Health Department has imposed a ban on the sale of unlicensed medicines at registered clinics in Islamabad, following a ruling from the constitutional court. This significant decision aims to enhance public safety and ensure that patients receive only approved medications.

In a statement, a Health Department official emphasized the importance of adhering to legal standards in the pharmaceutical sector. “This ban is a crucial step in combating the proliferation of unregulated medical practices that endanger public health,” the official stated. The department plans to intensify inspections of medical stores and pharmacies to enforce compliance.

The implications of this ban are far-reaching, as it seeks to protect citizens from potentially harmful drugs sold without proper oversight. The crackdown on illegal medical stores is expected to restore public confidence in healthcare services and reduce the risks associated with counterfeit medications.

Moving forward, the Health Department will conduct regular audits and collaborate with law enforcement to identify and shut down illegal pharmacies. Stakeholders in the healthcare sector are urged to comply with the new regulations to avoid penalties and ensure patient safety.
