Chechnya introduces separate male-female pharmacy services
A first pharmacy offering separate services for men and women has opened in the capital of Chechnya, the head of the Russian Muslim-majority republic announced on Saturday.
Ramzan Kadyrov visited the newly opened Darba Pharmacy in Grozny, accompanied by the Chechen health minister.
“I was pleased with what I saw. The pharmaceutical establishment meets all legal requirements, is equipped with the necessary medical supplies and drugs at an excellent level, and is capable of providing the population with high-quality medicinal products,” he stated.
Kadyrov also revealed plans to open another 15 pharmacies under the Darba network in Grozny in the near future.
Speaking on Saturday, the Chechen leader also called for the closure of beauty salons in the republic that promote “inappropriate behavior” and show body parts in their ads. He also highlighted concerns over health issues stemming from procedures performed at these establishments.
“Injections are given in the salons, then problems arise and people end up in hospitals. They post photos [on social media] where they show body parts that should not be shown. Salons that corrupt people must be closed,” he said, as quoted by TASS news agency.
