Kabul – The Inspection and Monitoring Directorate, operating under the Deputy Minister’s Office of Food and Drugs at the Ministry of Public Health, conducted a comprehensive inspection campaign across the country, targeting a total of 1,776 pharmacies.

Following rigorous assessments, 87 pharmacies were ordered to cease operations due to non-compliance with national health regulations and licensing standards. The enforcement teams identified serious legal and procedural violations, prompting immediate closure to safeguard public health.
