Attica and Piraeus pharmacists said on Tuesday that they will continue refusing to dispense medicine on credit, at least until Friday, when they are due to meet to decide whether to continue their action, as the health minister and the head of the national healthcare provider EOPYY threatened them with sanctions unless they desist, Skai TV has reported.
Pharmacists of the two powerful unions have said that they will not fill prescriptions until they are paid the arrears due to them in returns from the country’s social security foundations, especially OPAD, the fund that covers public sector workers, and OAEE, the fund for the self-employed.
