A
week before our departure, we have applied for a permit from the Health
Sciences Authority (HSA) under the Ministry of Health to export the drugs
out of Singapore. Some of the multi-vitamins which are near expiry date were not allowed to be exported. This is in compliance to WHO regulations not to export expired drugs to developing countries where drugs are scarce. A qualified medical practitioner is required to accompany us during the trip. |
