A number of pharmacies in AlNeirab Camp for Palestinian refugees, in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, have shut their doors following the Health Ministry’s latest decision to increase prices of drugs by 50%.
Activists said a number of pharmacists have stopped serving customers to increase prices of stocked medicines without consideration for civilians’ dire humanitarian condition and loss of livelihoods.
Recently, the Directorate of Pharmaceutical Affairs at the Syrian Ministry of Health issued a list of price amendments of locally-manufactured medicines due to the rise in the exchange rate of the USD, according to the Central Bank’s bulletin issued at the beginning of this month, in addition to the high costs of energy carriers.
