PHARMACISTS across Greece
have announced a series of strikes
to protest against new legislation
which aims to reform the Greek
health sector.
Last week most pharmacies were
closed for three days, and on
Saturday members of the Greek
Association of Pharmacists voted in
favour of another three day walkout.
The Greek government is under
pressure to undertake widespread
economic reform as part of moves
to handle the country’s debt crisis.
The proposed legislation would
mandate longer operating hours for
pharmacies and also liberalise the
granting of licences for new stores.
A major issue of concern for the
pharmacists is a change which
would allow any qualified
pharmacist to obtain a license to
operate a pharmacy.
Currently in Greece children of
existing pharmacists are given
preference when it comes to taking
over their parents’ businesses.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 25 Jan 11 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 25 Jan 11
