Private Pharmacists Confirm Payment Start
The Tunisian Union of Private Pharmacies confirmed that it has received information indicating the beginning of partial payments of the pharmacies' dues from the National Health Insurance Fund, amounting to one-third of the remaining amount from the January 15, 2026 agreement. They clarified that this payment is only a partial step and does not fulfill the full obligations of the agreement or address all legal and contractual violations, especially given the continued closure of the invoice tracking platform and the failure to raise non-compliant amounts that do not reflect reality. These developments come after more than two months of correspondence and demands from the union, amid ongoing repercussions of the delay, which is currently around 180 days. This situation risks returning the contractual relationship to square one. The union reaffirmed its commitment to applying the law and protecting pharmacists' rights, and called on the government to settle the full amounts owed, halt any violating procedures, and enable contractors to access information transparently.
