AMMAN — The pharmaceutical sector is
“suffering greatly” due to the practice of randomly issuing licences and the
establishment of a large number of new pharmacies, as Jordan currently has
about 4,500 pharmacies, said head of the Jordan Pharmacists Association Dr
Muhammad Al-Ababneh on Monday.

Ababneh was speaking during a meeting of
the Parliamentary Health and Environment Committee, headed by MP Dr Firas
Al-Qudah, which focused on the key challenges facing the
Kingdom’s pharmaceutical sector, Ammon News reported.
Qudah said that the need to regulate the
pharmacy sector in Jordan “has become urgent”, especially given the “significant
increase” in the number of pharmacies, which “threatens the entire sector”.
The MP also stressed the importance of
supporting the production inputs of
Jordan’s pharmaceutical industries to limit
prices, which have become a burden on citizens, in addition to the need to
promote national products to compete in global markets.
