Pharmacists Address Cost Concerns
As financial pressures mount, many pharmacists are considering reducing their opening hours as they grapple with insufficient compensation from the drug tariff. This action could potentially affect patients needing access to medication and services.
Implications of Reduced Hours
- Increased waiting times for patients.
- Reduced access to critical medications.
- Impact on public health outcomes.
Pharmacists argue that the drug tariff fails to meet the rising costs they face. If opening hours are cut, many fear patients will bear the brunt of these changes.
