At the call of their professional unions (FSPF, ANEPF, UNPF and USPO) several hundred pharmacists gathered in front of the Faculty of Pharmacy, avenue de l'Observatoire, and then headed towards Bercy. At the center of their demand, the shortage of “major” medicines for adults and children which endangers the financial balance of their pharmacies. The unions are also demanding an increase in the value of procedures and fees because the shortage is compounded by the lack of doctors. More than 40 pharmacies have already closed since the start of the year. Photo by Karim Ait Adjedjou/ABACAPRESS.COM
