Yemen prevents the import of Viagra

The Yemeni Ministry of Health decided to prevent the importing of Viagra, a medicine that helps impotent men.

Yemeni Minister of Health Abdallah Wali Nasher said that the registration of this medicine is not in the ministry's program after many countries refused to register it or allow its promotion.

The Yemeni minister threatened to close pharmacies or warehouses of medicines that distribute Viagra or any other prohibited medicines.

The Yemeni list of medicines comprises 400 kinds of which 99% treat common diseases.
