[(Title)] Draft law on pharmacies.

Saudi Gazette

JEDDAH — Three Saudi female legal consultants have contributed to the new draft law for pharmacies presented by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Saleh Al-Atawi, executive director for legal affairs, said this is the first time that women participated in drafting a law.

三名沙特女法律顾问为沙特食品药品管理局（SFDA）提出的新药品法草案做出了贡献。法律事务执行主管萨利赫·阿塔维表示，这是妇女首次参与法律起草工作。

The new draft law suggests a 1000-meter distance from each direction between two pharmacies. Each company will be allowed to own only 30 pharmacies. Individual pharmacists can own only five pharmacies.

新法律草案建议不同方向的两个药店之间距离1000米。每家公司只允许拥有30家药店，个人药师只能拥有5家药店。

The new draft law will also curtail the online sale of medicines and curb unauthorized selling of medical and herbal products.

新的法律草案还将限制药品的在线销售，并遏制未经授权销售医疗和草药产品的情况。 

Licenses given to every medical or herbal product are valid for five years with the option of renewal. The same applies to pharmaceutical factories. The technical director of the factory has to be a full time Saudi authorized pharmacist.

每种医疗产品或草药产品的许可证有效期为五年，可以续期。制药厂也一样。制药厂的技术总监必须是沙特授权的全职药剂师。

The SFDA will conduct regular inspections. It will also review the prices of medicines every five years. The SFDA will destroy any illegal products and specify punishments accordingly. This includes imprisonment for no more than 10 years, fine up to SR10 million, deportation if the person is non-Saudi, license revocation and prevention of the individual from working in the pharmaceutical industry.

SFDA将定期检查，每五年对药品价格进行一次审查。此外，还将销毁所有非法产品，并根据相应规定进行处罚——包括少于10年的监禁，高达1千万令吉的罚款，撤销许可证并不再允许在制药行业工作。如果该人不是沙特人，则会被驱逐。
