Medical stores in the country observed a nationwide protest with most stores remaining closed today in protest against the government’s move to regularise online medical stores, which they consider to be detrimental to their interests.
The All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists, the apex body of chemists across India, which gave the call for a nationwide strike on Friday, said e-pharmacies will increase the number of drug abuse cases as the authorities will not be able to track products sold online.
The association said all 24x7 stores and medical stores inside the hospitals will be open. The association said all 24x7 stores and medical stores inside the hospitals will be open.
