Anyone in the public who encounters or is offered fentanyl should immediately contact the police.
300 vials of Fentanyl injections were unaccounted for after a delivery to a public health facility.
“The Ministry of Health is advising the public that 300 vials of Fentanyl Injection 0.05mg/ml/2ml ampoules have been reported as unaccounted for, following a delivery discrepancy to one of the public health facilities.”
An investigation on the missing vials has been underway since August 6th.
The Ministry of Health says it views this matter with the utmost seriousness, given the dangerous nature of fentanyl, which is a potent synthetic opioid.
It is a narcotic used only under strict medical supervision in hospital settings.
And, even in small quantities, this drug can cause severe respiratory distress and death if misused or improperly handled.
