Health Department Sets 3-Day Drug Destruction Period
The Ministry of Health announced that the meeting of the Permanent National Committee for the Disposal of Medicines and Pharmaceutical Preparations for 2026 will be held from August 24 to 26. The meeting will be dedicated to the disposal of controlled medicines, including hazardous narcotics and psychoactive substances. Licensed healthcare facilities are urged to compile a complete list of all medicines requiring disposal—whether expired, damaged, contaminated, or returned by patients—and to provide accurate data via an Excel form, then send it to the Pharmacy Department. Appointments will be scheduled for each facility and arranged according to the disposal procedure to ensure the safe, organized disposal of medicines. This is part of efforts to regulate the disposal process and prevent the circulation of medicines outside official procedures.
