The District Health Office (DHO) Islamabad has enhanced its efforts to ensure drug safety by acquiring a state-of-the-art Raman Handheld Analyzer for its Pharmacy Services and Drug Control Section. This strategic move is part of the PSDP Project titled ‘Strengthening of Drug Control Section’, aimed at improving the overall standard of pharmaceutical regulation in the region.
The newly acquired device allows authorities to quickly identify counterfeit and substandard medicines within seconds, providing a powerful tool in the fight against spurious drugs. By enabling rapid on-site analysis, the analyzer supports more efficient and comprehensive monitoring of therapeutic products circulating in the market.
This initiative underscores the DHO Islamabad’s commitment to protecting public health and maintaining strict regulatory standards. The office has reiterated its dedication to ensuring that only safe, effective, and high-quality medicines are available to the people of Islamabad. The public can access further information about these ongoing efforts by visiting the DHO Islamabad’s official website.
