August 25, 2011 (BENTIU) - Authorities from Unity state Ministry of
Health have shut down 57 drug vendors and private pharmacies in Bentiu

who did not have relevant authentication.

The Unity state council of ministers made a resolution to immediately
instructing the state ministry of health to shut down all the
unrecognised drugs sellers last Wednesday.
Manong Thot Teny, director general of the state ministry of health
confirmed the crackdown.
With regards to fears of overcrowding in Benitu hospital, which has
only 100 beds, Teny said that appropriate licences would be issued
shortly.
William Chieng Dador, who operates in Rubkotna county as a pharmacist
and drug vendor told Sudan Tribune that the state government “shut
down all privates pharmacies in the area”. He said the main reason for
the closures was a lack of qualifications by employees.
Teny said that as of last Thursday, only five of the state’s
pharmacies and private clinics have resumed full service and that the
licensing process will continue.
