The Jordanian Physicians Union has decided to boycott all US and British goods and products, including drugs and medical equipment in objection to the US - British attacks against Iraq.

The Union asserted in a decision adopted by its council in a meeting held on Monday night that physicians are boycotting these products and will not prescribe US or British-made drugs except in emergency cases when there are no alternative medicinal products available from other countries.
