HIBAPRESS – Mohammed Zriouh
The pharmacy sector in the city of Nador is witnessing increasing demands from citizens and the Nadori community to increase the number of pharmacies on duty available in the city, as only two are currently relied upon. These demands come at a time when the city is expanding noticeably, with the emergence of new neighborhoods and areas far from the center, making it difficult to provide pharmaceutical services effectively during the night.
In light of these challenges, the citizens of Nador are calling on the Pharmacists Syndicate to intervene urgently, taking into consideration the rapid urban growth of the city, and working to amend the pharmacy on-duty law to align with the requirements of the new reality. It has become necessary to increase the number of pharmacies that undertake on-duty tasks, especially at night, to meet the needs of citizens who face difficulty accessing pharmacies during late hours.
Figures indicate that relying on only two pharmacies is not sufficient to cover all the new neighborhoods that include many residents. With the increasing demand for medications at night, the pressure on available pharmacies increases, leading to delays in treatment and the aggravation of the suffering of patients, especially in areas far from the city center.
In this context, the spokespersons for civil society are demanding that the concerned authorities, led by the Pharmacists Syndicate, take urgent measures to increase the number of pharmacies on duty to four or more, to better distribute the burden across the different areas in the city. They emphasize that this change will contribute to improving medical service and alleviating the suffering of citizens, especially in emergency cases.
In conclusion, this situation shows the urgent need to develop work mechanisms in the pharmaceutical sector in the city of Nador, in line with urban and population expansion. Providing health and pharmaceutical services around the clock is considered a basic right that must be available to all citizens.
