HẢI PHÒNG — Police in Hải Phòng and the Department of Health on Saturday conducted a surprise inspection on a traditional medicine shop and discovered a number of violations.

The owner of the shop, Ngô Quý Khắc, failed to show any qualification certificates, and any papers about the origin of the medicine on sale.

The shop, in Hải Thành Ward, Dương Kinh District, sells traditional medicines to different provinces across the country such as Hưng Yên, Thanh Hóa, Đắk Lắk and Quảng Bình without permission.

Khắc’s three stores contained about 3.5 tonnes of medicines without trademarks. The drugs were mixed with dead mice and other insects. Most had signs of mould.

The inspectors temporarily suspended operations of the shop, and will punish the owner based on the law. — VNS
