She also mentioned, I think, that it's illegal for them to offer medical advice, prescribe medication etc (if I understood her earlier post correctly).
My problem is....where do I complain? is there something akin to the Office of Fair Trading in Egypt? Are there enforceable consumer protection laws? Is there somewhere I can go and say "so-and-so tried to charge me XLE for some pills which, according to the official list are only YLE....and I want them prosecuted".
I think I know the answer.....
I personally would use the home remedy treatment method to get your complaint across concerning overcharging's. You firmly clamp their nuts in you right fist while slowly applying up to 200 pounds per square pubic mass of pressure, stating as you did this in a clear and precise tone, ''Now you thieving barsteward, how much is this medicine?''
Life is your's to do with as you wish- do not let other's try to control it for you. Count Dusak- 1345.
I'll bear your recommendation in mind...although, as a non-violent soul (and being averse to Egyptian prison food), I have some reservations as to the efficacy of your suggestion
According to the official gazette, a decree by Prime Minister Sherif Ismail granted the Egyptian military a license to enter the pharmaceutical industry by founding ‘the Egyptian National Company for Pharmaceuticals’.
The extent of the activities of this new company remains unclear.
The decision to allow the Egyptian military to enter the pharmaceutical industry comes at a time when Egypt is facing a drug shortage and an increase in prices.
Earlier this month, Egypt increased the prices of 3,000 drugs by up to 20 percent.
The prince increases, as well as the shortage that has prompted intervention by the Egyptian government, coincides with the floating of the Egyptian pound. According to CAPMAS, annual urban consumer price inflation jumped to 23.3 percent in December from 19.4 percent in November.
The decision by the government to allow the military to enter the pharmaceutical industry, however, will be welcomed by some and criticised by others. It has long been thought Egypt’s military has a wide presence in Egypt’s economy, producing and selling goods ranging from water and cereal to petrol.
Nevertheless, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi affirmed last year that the military’s activities accounted for less than two percent of the country’s overall economic output.
