Masks to be available in pharmacies soon.


The system governing the sale of subsidised masks in pharmacies is ready. Profit margins of wholesalers and retailers, storage, distribution, supply. Everything is ready to start the distribution of these sanitary masks, before the end of the current week.

The pharmacies will soon be associated with the distribution chain of health masks for non-medical use, subsidised by the Special Fund to fight the pandemic of Covid-19. The procedure for their involvement was detailed in a letter, addressed to the Minister of Industry and Trade, signed by the presidents of the professional representations of pharmacists.

The sales of these masks in the pharmacies of the kingdom will be made by cartons containing boxes of 10 units, with profit margins set for wholesalers and pharmacies.

The price of the sale to the public being 8 dirhams including tax (for a box of 10 units), the profit margins of suppliers to wholesalers, as well as the profit margins of wholesalers and pharmacists were fixed by the general direction of trade (ministry Trade and Industry):

- Industrial manufacturers' selling prices: 6 dirhams including tax;

- Single supplier selling price: 6.20 dirhams including tax;

- Sale price for pharmaceutical wholesalers: 6.50 dirhams including tax;

- Sale price to the public, by pharmacies, of a box of 10 units: 8 dirhams including tax.

The sale will be made of boxes containing boxes of 10 units. Payment, upon purchase by the wholesaler, and sale to pharmacists will be in cash.

For organisational and convenience reasons, the inventory of the various manufacturers of sanitary masks in Morocco will be grouped at the level of a single supplier, with regional platforms, which, in turn, will supply the various wholesalers and distributors. This supplier will be chosen by mutual agreement between the general management of trade and the Professional Pharmaceutical Distribution Group (GDPP).

To ensure better monitoring of the supply of these subsidised masks, pharmacists are invited to deliver only a single box of 10 units per customer.

Wholesalers and distributors are asked to communicate on the state of their sales, and on the level of their stocks, with the GDPP monitoring unit, in charge of transmitting them to the General Directorate of Commerce, to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

In addition to the subsidised masks, pharmacists will have to gradually resume the distribution of hydro-alcoholic gels.

In addition, bottles of disinfectant alcohol at the dosage required for the preparation of this hydro-alcoholic gel, will then be offered to pharmacies in the kingdom, gradually and rationally, in order to allow them to carry out any officinal preparations.
