On the directions of the Sindh High Court (SHC), a team consisting of health department officials sealed as many as nine private medical stores which were located within the premises of Chandka Medical College Hospital (CMCH), here on Monday.
The team was led by Larkana Assistant Commissioner Masood Bhutto. The licences of all these medical stores were also cancelled by the District Health Officer. These medical stores include three stores of Peoples Pharmax, two located in the City and Teaching blocks of the CMCH, and one in the Shaikh Zayed Hospital for Women (SZHM); Awami Medical Store located in the City block, Faisal Medical Store located in the Paeds Medicine block, Taj Medical Store in the Teaching block of CMCH, and Data Medical Store located at the main gate of SZHW and others.
