Pharmacies in Athens to close on Wednesday due to strike

Pharmacies in Athens will be closed on Wednesday in protest at the government’s plans to allow non-prescription drugs to be sold in other stores.

The measure was included in the proposals sent by the current coalition to is lenders last week. The previous government had also been poised to adopt the reform but met with resistance from pharmacists.

Only on-duty pharmacies will remain open on Wednesday.
