Event

Employees of the Central Pharmacy of Tunisia plan to strike nationwide Jan. 12-13. Organizers claim that authorities have not fulfilled their promise of providing grants and more career developments for pharmacy employees.

The strike could affect the supply of medications, leading to increased demand at hospitals and other medical facilities. Striking pharmacists may also hold demonstrations, particularly outside the headquarters of the Central Pharmacy in Tunis. Localized traffic disruptions are possible near any protests that may occur.

Advice

Ensure sufficient supplies of essential medications. Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution; exercise caution around government buildings, prominent public parks and squares, and other popular rally sites. Allow additional time for travel near likely gathering locations.
