Terrence Mawawa|Health and Child Care Minister Obadiah Moyo has revealed that the government is making frantic efforts to expose unscrupulous pharmacies that that are selling drugs at exorbitant prices.

Speaking in the Senate today Moyo claimed pharmacies were allocated foreign currency by the Reserve of Zimbabwe to purchase drugs.

Moyo has said it is unfortunate to note that pharmacies are demanding US dollars yet they are supposed to embrace all the payment methods that have been approved by the Central Bank.

“Sadly pharmacies are misusing the foreign currency they have been allocated by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

Their claims do not hold water because they are abusing the foreign currency they were given by the Central Bank.

We are therefore in the process of compiling a list of such unscrupulous pharmacies and as I have already indicated, appreciate action shall be taken against them,” Moyo said.
