The Ministry of Health granted the GPP (Good Pharmacy Practices) certificate to drugstore chain ECO Pharmacy Joint Stock Company at a ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City Wednesday.

ECO is the first drugstore chain in the country to receive the certificate.

The HCMC-based company’s drugstore chain has 10 drugstores that meet all of the World Health Organization’s three standards, namely Good Storage Practices, Good Distribution Practices and Good Pharmacy Practices.

According to a November 2007 decision by the ministry, any drugstore that does not meet Good Pharmacy Practices (GPP) standards by the end of 2010 can only sell medicines that do not require prescriptions.
