Pharmacists will again not be answering the phone and they will be reporting for work an hour late as from April 22 after talks between the Union Haddiema Maghqudin and the Joint Negotiating Team within the Finance Ministry failed.
They will also be closing government pharmacies an hour early.
The UHM said in a statement that the shortage of pharmacists was so serious that they could not give their services properly while other essential services could not be introduced.
