To all Malaysians,

The latest draft of Rang Undang-undang Farmasi (RUUF, Pharmacy Bill) as announced by the Ministry of Health on 9th May 2016 includes the following decisions:

1. Issuance of prescriptions to patients is not mandatory.

2. It is not mandatory to state Indication / diagnosis on prescriptions

3. Pharmaceutical Compounding can be performed by non-pharmacists

4. Psychotropic medicines can be dispensed by prescribers

5. Juruteknologi Farmasi can be supervised by non-pharmacists

The latest RUUF draft fails to provide sufficient protections to the patients' / consumers' rights and interests. And it does not help in the development of the pharmacy profession.

Please sign this Petition to reject RUUF.
