Across Europe, more people than ever rely on prescription medicine from public-funded pharmacies. But an increasing number of these pharmacies now belong to a handful of large chains. This has left governments facing a question they are only starting to answer, who guarantees that people can still get the medicine they need. In Serbia’s capital, the public pharmacy network is close to collapse, and the city that owns it wants to hand it to a private operator.
