The Pharmacists Syndicate issued a statement expressing its deep concern about the unfortunate incident that took place in one of the pharmacies in the city of Batroun, confirming the safety of the affected pharmacist, and emphasizing that it is closely following the details and circumstances of this attack.
In the context of its strong condemnation of any aggressive action targeting pharmacists or their pharmacies, the union appealed to the security forces and municipal police agencies to strengthen security measures, especially during the evening and night periods, with a special focus on the areas surrounding pharmacies that operate around the clock, with the aim of ensuring the safety of pharmacists and maintaining health security for citizens.
The Syndicate also confirmed that it pays great attention to this matter and is following it up with all seriousness, affirming its permanent commitment to protecting the safety of pharmacists and preserving the status and dignity of the pharmacy profession.
This statement comes against the backdrop of a worrying security incident that occurred in the city of Batroun during the night, where a pharmacy was subjected to an attempted forcible break-in, which sparked a wave of fear and anxiety, especially since the incident occurred in a lively area crowded with people and restaurants.
In the details: A masked man stormed “Dagher Pharmacy” in Batroun, demanding to obtain “abortion medication without a prescription.” Then he threatened the employee with his weapon, threatening to “shoot if his request is not met,” but the employee refused to hand over the medication because “it is not available and it is illegal to dispense it without medical supervision.”
