Possibly a temporary stop on the way to a someone who could possibly use it. However, I have no experience with Ukrainian pediatric practices, but I've seen numerous incidences of well meaning (but not well thought out) donations to foreign humanitarian efforts either being discarded or having harmful results.

Alberta health minister says children's pain meds from Turkey are safe for patients overseas​

Meds stopped being used in Alberta NICUs due to higher risk of clogging feeding tubes

Alberta's health minister is standing by the possibility of donating children's medications to patients in Ukraine, despite the fact the painkillers were deemed a risk in the province.

On Monday, Adriana LaGrange called the children's acetaminophen, manufactured by Turkey-based Atabay Pharmaceuticals, "good quality drugs."

In 2022, the provincial government paid $70 million for five million bottles of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofin amid a domestic shortage of children's pain medication.

About 30 per cent of the shipment has been received to date. However, the province is sitting on about 1.4 million bottles of medication after health officials determined it posed risks when given to infants.

Staff in Alberta's neonatal intensive care units found that "the imported product had a higher risk of clogging feeding tubes, due to higher viscosity," according to a document re-released after a Freedom of Information request. That led to the decision to stop using the imported pain medication in those units, the document said.

The product was used by Alberta Health Services for roughly two months. . . .

As to not being authorized, for purpose of full disclosure, there are listings in the following referring to import authorization of Turkish meds to Alberta.

So all of AHS's major contracts appear to be directly or indirectly connect to Sam Mraiche? And they didn't want that known? That's not suspicious at all.
