President Moon said, "Especially, the 5-day rotation sales system starting next week is a new system, so there may be various inconveniences and confusion initially. Bearing those inconveniences and complaints has also become the responsibility of pharmacies," and evaluated, "Pharmacies are places closest to the people, protecting their health."
