Pharmacists' Union Warns of Closures

The pharmacy sector in Lebanon is suffering from a severe crisis that threatens its sustainability. About 200 pharmacies have been forced to close, with another 700 at risk of shutting down, while the remaining pharmacies are struggling to stay afloat. The economic crisis and rising operating costs, especially electricity and rent, have led to a decline in pharmacy profits, which now generate only about 40% of their pre-crisis revenues. If the situation continues, the sector may become unable to withstand the challenges, negatively impacting the primary healthcare network that provides medicines and pharmaceutical services across all Lebanese regions. Authorities are urged to take urgent measures to support the sector and ensure its survival.
