“Death today, unfortunately, has become the destiny of the Lebanese,” a shocking statement said by the head of the Pharmacists Syndicate in Lebanon, Joe Salloum, without equivocation, which raised great concern among the Lebanese, because it came from a source familiar with the reality of medicine in Lebanon, which raised many questions related to the unavailability of medicine in pharmacies. Especially medicines for incurable diseases. What regarding solutions? Is the life of the Lebanese really in danger?!
In this context, the former head of the Pharmacists Syndicate in Lebanon, George Seili, considers that “the solution to the crisis cannot be in the hands of one person. If the ministry, the syndicate, and those concerned decide to resort to a temporary solution, then let them kindly implement the laws with the help of the security services.”
In an interview with the “Lebanese Debate”, Saili says: “The Ministry and the Syndicate are approaching the crisis on the principle that there are missing medicines in the market, and smuggling and counterfeiting play and have fun without accountability or censorship under the pretext that there are no medicines in the market, but this is not true, as medicines are available, and they have agents.” The ability to import medicines to Lebanon, but the ministry should facilitate this issue.”
He criticizes the Ministry of Health’s erroneous policy in this field, and calls on it to go down to the ground to see closely that everything it is doing is wrong, as it ignored the issue of smuggling and counterfeiting, to perpetuate the so-called “emergency import”, which is regarding benefits, where medicines enter in an illegal way. Legitimacy to speculate on companies, insinuating that this matter was behind the closure of scientific offices in Lebanon, and stressing that “stopping dependence on this import will revive the regular drug market, and thus work will be somewhat regular in the market.”
Saili presents a vision that, “if they want to develop sustainable solutions,” they should, in his opinion, do what is called “health sector governance”, which depends on 3 main categories. They must put forward their automated plans to come up with a common vision for governance.
And these parties that Saili enumerates are: the policy makers, i.e. the representatives, the Parliamentary Health Committee, the medical service unions, and the civil society, i.e. the individuals. These parties must develop a scientific and technical field study, and agree on a unified agenda for implementation, and thus we find before us a sustainable agenda for at least a period of five years, to take The sector has breathed and returns to work as it was before the crisis.
