An official from the Ministry of Health (MoH) told a local newspaper that, currently, there are more than 3,000 pharmacies in Cambodia, but among those, only 1,000 of them have proper licenses, and the other 2,000 do not have valid license. Prem Noron, deputy chairman of the MoH food and drugs department, told the Koh Santepheap newspaper about this issue while he was attending a seminar on drug management in Phnom Penh of 06 December. Prem Noron also indicated that, separately, in Phnom Penh city, there are more than 100 pharmacies which do not have license issued to them yet, and on this issue, the committee for fighting against fake drugs will take appropriate measures. He also said that, currently, the main problems faced by the MoH are: unlicensed pharmacy, the trafficking of fake and banned drugs, and contraband medicines. The MoH is also facing with criticisms leveled by the public saying this ministry does not pay attention to these issues.

In this lawless corrupted regime pharmcies do not need license to sell drugs. This will allow opportunists such as Ah Youn Changray/Thai Changray to sell any poison to Khmer to kill themseves.

Ah Sen kvak loves to see Khmer dying. HA! HA!
