If ever there was a day not to get sick, it's this Thursday, May 30, 2024! Between 75% and 90% of pharmacies have announced that they will be on strike today, supported by the Ordre des pharmaciens. This is a massive and rare mobilization for this profession, which is calling for the implementation of a plan to combat drug shortages, which have worsened in recent months. Their demands also include an increase in their fees.
Numerous rallies are planned across the country, including a demonstration at 3pm starting from the Faculté de Pharmacie, in Paris. To deal with emergencies, some pharmacies have been requisitioned thanks to the night duty system, which has been extended during the day. A dozen or so remain open in the capital, but you can expect them to be overrun! So please postpone your visit, as only urgent needs will be taken care of.
