Dr. Elias Challita, head of the Lebanese Doctors’ Syndicate, affirmed after meeting President Joseph Aoun that “it is necessary to ensure the quality of the medicines provided to patients, especially cancer drugs and medications for chronic diseases, because patients depend on them for long periods, for years.”
He expressed his support for “activating the National Drug Authority to oversee the quality of medicines and their conformity with international standards.”
He added that “President Aoun encouraged us to follow up on this file in coordination with the Minister of Public Health.”
