The Pharmacists' Union in Alexandria voted to shut down pharmacies across the city for an hour on Monday, May 31st from 10 am -11 am, in protest of attempts by some prominent businessmen to gain control of the union. Pharmacists will rally dressed in their traditional white coats in front of their union branch in Alexandria .

The decision came after threats that the Alexandria Union branch could face sequestration if resists the businessmen's monopoly of the drug markets and establishing new pharmacy chains

The union would address the violations of the law calling on the Ministers of Health and Trade to intervene and ensure the fair distribution of vital drugs to individuals.
