Launching of the first national campaign against counterfeit drugs
First national campaign to fight counterfeit drugs [08.08.2008 ]
Author: Ministry of Public Health     |      Source:


الوزير خليفة أطلق الحملة الوطنية الاولى لمكافحة الادوية المزورة:
مواجهة الظاهرة يجب أن تكون علميا وفنيا وليس بالضرورة بوليسيا


وطنية- 6/8/2008 (متفرقات) أطلق وزير الصحة العامة الدكتور محمد جواد خليفة في مؤتمر صحافي اليوم في فندق الحبتور، الحملة الوطنية الاولى لمكافحة الادوية المزورة بالتعاون مع الاتحاد الدولي لنقابات الصيادلة الفرنكوفون ونقابة صيادلة لبنان ومنتدى الصيادلة في اقليم شرق المتوسط ومنظمة الصحة العالمية- لبنان.
وحضر النواب ابراهيم كنعان ونبيل نقولا وجمال الطقش ورئيس نقابة مستوردي الادوية ارمان فارس ورئيس نقابة اصحاب المستشفيات الخاصة سليمان هارون والنقيبة السابقة للصيادلة ليلى خوري.

نصور
افتتح المؤتمر بالنشيد الوطني، ثم ألقى نائب رئيس الاتحاد الدولي لنقابات الصيادلة الفرنكوفون الدكتور زياد نصور كلمة شدد فيها على "ضرورة أن يعمل جميع الاطراف المعنيين بالصحة على مكافحة الادوية المزورة، وهي منتجات على رأس سلسلة من الادوية التي تتوافر خلسة في الاسواق تحت عنوان أنها أدوية فعالة، في حين أنها تفتقر الى المواد الفعالة وبالتالي تضر بالمرضى.

وقال "إن الصيدلي يشكل الضمان النوعي لتأمين جودة الدواء والحلقة الاخيرة في سلسلة العناية الصحية، وهو المفتاح لضمان نوعية الادوية".

دبيبو
ثم تحدث نقيب صيادلة لبنان صالح دبيبو، فقال "ان التزوير امر اجرامي مرفوض كليا وبكل مستوياته، اذ انه ليس ذا مستوى واحد، وان مكافحته تتطلب عقوبة صارمة موحدة وعدم ترك أي هامش لأي تخفيف أيا كانت الاسباب".

وأشار الى "أن لبنان عانى الكثير خلال الفترات الصعبة التي مر بها من وجود ادوية مزورة، ولكن بعد الاستتباب الامني، وبعد تفعيل اجهزة الرقابة في وزارة الصحة العامة وهي نقابة الصيادلة، بجهود من الضابطة العدلية والنيابات العامة، انخفضت نسبة وجود أدوية مزورة الى مستويات دنيا".

أبو زيد
ثم ألقى ممثل منظمة الصحة العالمية الدكتور حسين ابو زيد ممثلا بالدكتورة اليسا راضي كلمة، مما قال فيها: "تشير الدراسات الى أن نسبة الادوية المزورة تراوح بين 1% في البلدان المستوردة و30% في البلدان في طور النمو، وان نسبة الادوية المزورة التي تباع عبر الانترنت قد تصل الى 50%، وهناك عوامل متعددة تسهل دخول الادوية المزورة الى البلدان. وأمام هذه المشكلة المتفاقمة على الصعيد العلمي، وبهدف نشر التوعية وتفعيل التدابير للحد من استعمال الادوية المزورة وبيعها، أنشأت منظمة الصحة العالمية في شباط 2006 الشراكة العالمية الاولى واللجنة الدولية لمكافحة الأدوية المزورة، وتضم 193 بلدا من أعضاء منظمة الصحة العالمية.

الوزير خليفة
واخيرا قال الوزير الخليفة: "لا يختلف اثنان على أهمية إطلاق حملة وطنية للتوعية في مجالات الادوية ومكافحة التزوير والتقليد لما تمثله من خروج على القوانين المعمول بها لتنظيم سوق الأدوية في لبنان في كل المجالات، بدءا بتجارة الادوية استيرادا وتصديرا وتسويقا وتخزينا واستهلاكا وبيعه في الصيدليات او في خزائن الادوية في المؤسسات الرعائية والمستشفيات، ولما يمثله أيضا من أخطار تصيب المواطن بصحته وحياته، وصولا الى ما يمكن أن يخلفه من ضرر كبير بسمعة لبنان كسوق صحية عربية واقليمية مميزة بنوعيتها وتنوعها.

لهذه الاسباب مجتمعة، طورت وزارة الصحة مصلحة الصيدلة وعززت قدرات التفتيش الصيدلي مركزيا، وفي المناطق تم توظيف 18 صيدليا للعمل في دائرة التفتيش، واستطاعت هذه الدائرة بحيويتها ومؤازرة القوى الامينة لها، وخصوصا شعبة البحث عن التهريب في الجمارك اللبنانية، وبالتعاون والتنسيق مع نقابة الصيادية ونقابة المستوردين من إنجاز كمية كبيرة من أعمال التفتيش والتحقيق وإصدار قرارات سحب المستحضرات الطبية المزورة من الاسواق اللبنانية ومنع تناولها، وإحالة المؤسسات الصيادلانية المخالفة على السلطات القضائية المختصة. وبالاضافة الى ضبط أدوية مزورة في الصيدليات فقد تم ضبط أكثر من حالة في المستشفيات والمراكز الصحية والمستوصفات، ويا للاسف.
ولأن السرد يطول، فسنكتفي بأن نورد ملخصا عن أعمال التفتيش الصيدلي خلال عام 2007.

1- كشف أدوية في حرم الجمارك لمطار بيروت والمرفأ وما ينتج عنها من متابعة وتنظيم.
2- كشف على مستودعات مجازة وتنظيم 11 محضرا.
3- إحصاء مخدرات ومواد نفسية في الصيدليات والمستودعات وتسليمها في حرم الجمارك وتنظيم تقارير تلف المولد المراقبة عدد 460.
4 - الكشف على صيدليتين قيد الانشاء.
5 - الكشف على أدوية ومحاضر طبية عدد 120.
6 - محاضر استجواب وتحقيق عدد 329.
7 - الكشف على صيدليات مجازة عدد 32.
ولقد اصدرنا نتيجة لذلك 43 كاتبا موجها الى النيابات العامة للتحقيق مع مؤسسات صيدلانية وصيادلة يثبت تورطهم.

أما عن عام 2008، فقد صدر 65 قرارا من الفتتيش الصيدلي، 51 قرارا منع تداول ادوية مهربة و14 قرارا منع تناول ادوية مزورة و4 قرارات منعت أدوية خاضعة لقانون المخدرات والمواد التخليقية و3 قرارات منعت ادوية معربة وخاضعة لقانون المخدرات وقرار واحد منع دواء مزورا وخاضعا لقانون المخدرات، بالاضافة الى قرارات أخرى منعت أدوية تستعمل لعلاج الضغط والالم وخفض الحرارة، ومن بينها أدوية مزورة. كما أصدرنا في وزارة الصحة العامة خلال عام 2007 دليلا صيدلانيا مهما لاقى الاستحسان والاهتمام من الاطباء والصيادلة".

أضاف: "تزامن هذا الجهد مع تنفيذ برنامج إعادة التسعير الهادف الى ضبط سوق الدواء وضبط كلفته مقارنة مع الاسعار في بلد المنشأ والاسعار المتداولة في بعض دول المنطقة، وكانت النتائج جيدة وخفضت الاسعار بنسب متفاوتة تراوح بين 3% و 17%، والمشروع مستمر.
إن أعمال التهريب والتزوير والتقليد للادوية هي اعمال تعود لخارجين على القانون، ولا يجوز التعامل معهم الا من خلال هذه الصفة، وبالتالي يجب أن تكون العقوبات قاسية الى أقصى حد، غير أننا نواجه في مجالات الادوية أوضاعا غير طبيعية وتحتاج الى الجهد المشترك بيننا جميعا لإيجاد حلول لها تتفق مع التطورات العلمية الحاصلة في مجالات العلاج والادوية ومع مصالح الناس وحقهم في الصحة الجيدة".

وتابع: "لا يختلف اثنان على أن للاعشاب فوائد كبيرة، وتعود المعرفة بها الى العصور القديمة، لكننا كلنا متفقون على أن هذا القطاع يحتاج الى الضبط والى اعتماد قواعد علمية، خصوصا أن الاعشاب تستعمل كعلاج.
لذلك أدعو نقابة الصيادلة ونقابتي الاطباء والجامعات ومنظمة الصحة العالمية التعاون لوضع الانظمة والاسس التي تؤسس للتداوي بالاعشاب بطريقة سليمة بعيدة عن الأخطار والاشتراكات، وهناك تجاوب كثيرة يمكن الاستفادة منها.
كذلك هناك الكثير من العروض مثل الطلب البديل وبعض المظاهر، ومنها على سبيل المثال ما سمي في مرحلة سابقة ظاهرة الدكتور "كوكو" في عاليه الذي ادعى توفير الشفاء بواسطة قناني مياه صلى عليها أحد القديسين، وهو ليس بدكتور، وزحفت الناس اليه طلبا للشفاء، ثم انتهت الظاهرة. وهناك ظواهر أخرى كثيرة مماثلة كمعالجات الامراض السرطانية والعجز الجنسي وسواها".
وختم: "إن مواجهة هذه الظاهرة ليست بالضرورة قمعية او بوليسية، بل يجب ان تكون علمية فنية تتوجه تثقيفيا الى الناس أولا، والى الاطباء والسياسة العامة المعتمدة في مجال التأمينات".
