Konin officials seek to restore 24-hour pharmacy services

Konin officials are working to restore 24-hour pharmacy services in the city. Vice President Witold Nowak stated that a decision regarding a potential provider may be reached as early as next week.

Since October 1, the city has lacked pharmacy services operating between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Local authorities are currently in negotiations with four different entities, including individual pharmacies and larger chains, to fill the gap.

While discussions have also involved the hospital pharmacy, the city faces limitations in incentivizing private businesses to maintain unprofitable night shifts. Currently, residents must travel to Kole or Turku to access nighttime pharmaceutical services.
