Turkey : The same call is made to the power from all segments of the society: Let the mask be paid and the money to be a healthcare provider.

On April 6, the sale of masks was stopped with money, it was announced that free masks will be distributed to those between the ages of 20-65. However, citizens who do not receive a code on their phones return empty handed from pharmacies. Finally, the Istanbul Chamber of Pharmacists announced that free masks will not be given to employees of public institutions and SSI employees. So where will the citizen find the mask, which is a must for the street?

Erdogan Colak

GET WHAT YOU NEED

Turkish Pharmacists Association President Erdoğan Çolak explained his solutions to the mask problem to SÖZCÜ: A free mask is purchased from the pharmacy with an SMS code. There is also distribution via e-government and PTT. Free masks are delivered to the places where people with social insurance, working in the public and private sectors work, through the governorships. While it supports free mask distribution; We recommend selling it from pharmacies for a flat fee. So he gets what he needs.

Nurten Saydan

FALLED TO KARABORSAYA

All Pharmacist Employers Union President Nurten Saydan demanded that the pharmacies be arranged to sell masks to citizens at a price set by the state. Saydan said: As of April 10, disposable masks were sent to pharmacies and started to be delivered to citizens free of charge. However, the problems are not over. Our citizens use black market masks, sold at exorbitant prices. The same family members wear one mask according to the order of going out.

Burhanettin Bulut

MANDATORY EVERYWHERE

CHP Deputy Burhanettin Bulut also said that although it is mandatory to wear a mask in market, hospital, bank and public transportation, many citizens cannot reach the mask. “The mask can be sold through pharmacies for a fee set by the state. This should be provided urgently. ”

Gamze Taşçıer

GET FIXED PRICE

Gamze Taşçıer, one of the CHP pharmacist deputies, said: Mask was not delivered to millions of people. Just as the ministry brings a fixed price in medicine, a fixed price is set on the mask. The ban on sales at a price set by the state should be lifted. This work is solved with pharmacies.

– I went to the pharmacy. They did not give a mask before the message arrived. I wanted to buy it with my money. They said it was forbidden.

– 5-digit code came to buy from the pharmacy, I did not get it. It must be 4 digits. This was the value the state gave to its people.

– We can’t find a mask. We can’t find it. We do not accept that masks to be distributed to citizens are sent to other countries as aid.

– I was able to buy 5 masks for 10 days from the e-government. It is not possible. I also desperately use my wife’s.

– A controlled sale can be made for every budget without allowing opportunism. For example, pharmacies can sell. The state’s priority must be its own citizen.
