The owner of an illegal pharmacy in the town of Dondo, in the central Mozambican province of Sofala, was arrested on Monday and found to be in possession of medicines that can only be distributed by the national health system.The detention of Araujo Peixe Almoco took place on the orders of the Central Office for the Fight Against Corruption (GCCC), and the arresting officers found large quantities of medicines including the anti-retroviral drugs used to prolong the lives of HIV-positive people.Pedro Chivando, of the Sofala branch of the GCCC, told the Beira dailypaper “Diario de Mocambique” that the GCCC had received a tip off about the illegal pharmacy through its hotline which was set up so that citizens can denounce illegal activities.“When we received the information, we initiated a primary investigation to confirm the existence of the illegal clinic. And when we apprehended the owner we found, apart from the illegal health unit, an enormous quantity of medicines, some of which are missing from the State pharmacies”, said Chivando.It is thought that the medicines that are for the exclusive use of the national health system could have been diverted from public health units.Last week the provincial head of the Sofala medical services, Custodio Cruz, said that health units in Beira are facing a crisis because of a shortage of medicines, particularly anti-retrovirals and antibiotics.
