The pharmacy network that sold medicine to a Mother and Child Institute patient, necessary to cause miscarriage without a prescription, will be sanctioned. It was announced by secretary of state from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare, Boris Gîlca, within the press conference regarding the case of woman left alone to abort by herself in the institution's bathroom.

The case, investigated by Ministry of Health, has shown the fact that the patient was sent by the doctor to purchase medicine from the pharmacy that causes miscarriage, without a prescription. Despite the fact that the institution has the necessary drugs.

But apparently if you are insistent, you can purchase any drug without a prescription. We will sanction those pharmacies and strictly check this fact" Boris Gîlca said.
