The Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union has filed a lawsuit against the National Assembly and the Council of Ministers over discriminatory treatment of master pharmacists. Pharmacists want to be recognized as professionals who are actively involved in tackling the health crisis caused by the coronavirus and to be provided with additional incentives by the state.

In addition, pharmacists say that the contract with the Health Insurance Fund expires at the end of October. A new one has not yet been signed, which puts at risk the reimbursement of home treatment products.
