NNA - Head of the Pharmacists Syndicate, Dr. Joe Salloum, announced today that "there is no choice but to declare an open strike and complete mobilization until the election of a president for the country, the formation of a national rescue government, and the initiation of reform steps."

He indicated that he will be communicating this during the scheduled meeting on Monday at the  headquarters of the General Labor Union, on behalf of the Hospitals' Syndicate Dean as well.

"The germ, if not treated with the right antibiotic and in the required quantity and period, becomes more powerful and impossible to eradicate," he added metamorphically, in wake of the prevailing collapse and the indifference of those concerned in the country.
