Bahrain Mirror: A local Bahraini newspaper said the Health Ministry had set up a five-member medical committee to investigate an antibiotic drug believed to be unfit, which the Salmaniya Medical Complex pharmacy had previously offered to patients.

The information states that the antibiotic drug packs contain foreign objects.

The decision to form the committee under the chairmanship of the head of the medical maintenance and supply division of the Bahrain Defense Force Hospital was coordinated between the Assistant Undersecretary of Hospitals at the Ministry of Health Walid Al-Mane'a and the Bahrain Defense Force Hospital and the Organization of Occupations and Health Services Authority.

The committee will investigate the information received from the Salmaniya Complex pharmacy about the presence of antibiotic drug packs that contain foreign objects, and take samples of these packs and analyze them in order to determine the validity of this information and prepare a technical report of the results of the analysis revealing the components of these packs.
