DISTRICT authorities are set to meet with owners of unlicenced pharmacies in Phnom Penh, saying their businesses will face closure if they do not register with the Ministry of Health.

In January the ministry gave municipal and provincial health officials a February deadline to launch a crackdown on unlicenced premises.

According to Sok Sokun, director of the Phnom Penh Health Department, Governor Kep Chuktema on Thursday authorised local officials to meet the owners of illegal dispensaries to demand that they apply for legitimate licences or face closure.

The date and time of the meeting is yet to be determined, officials said.
