Tripoli, 15.11.2015(Lana) Media Office at Customs Authority said the analysis made by Food and Drugs Control Authority Customs on a sample of medicine shipment turned out to be not good for use. The office said the shipment which is related to drugs used to cure AIDS does not comply with the specifications and standards and therefore classified as medical waste and it would be destroyed after coordination with the relevant authorities. The Media Office said the shipment arrived at Amitiga Airport offered as an aid from World Health Organization to the national Centre for Disease Control in Libya.
