Tunisian union warns on medicine costs
The General Tunisian Labour Union condemned the significant increases in medication prices imposed by the authorities, with some hikes exceeding 550%. They considered these increases a violation of the right to healthcare and believed they worsen the suffering of vulnerable groups due to the economic crisis. The union explained that central pharmacists justified the decision by citing rising global costs of shipping and importing to ensure continuous supply to the market. Meanwhile, the Tunisian government continues to deny having a direct impact on the price hikes. The healthcare sector in Tunisia is currently facing a crisis related to funding and supply challenges, with concerns that ongoing increases in medication prices will reduce patients' ability to access treatment. There are calls for regulations that balance the continuity of supply with citizens' rights to healthcare.
