00:00Over 5,000 pharmacists and pharmacy students took to the streets of Taipei to protest a new government directive, allowing some pharmacy graduates to sell traditional Chinese medicine without passing the national pharmacist exam.
00:13Protesters called the directive illegal and a threat to public safety. The health ministry argues that the change addresses worker shortages and supports the traditional Chinese medicine industry. Pharmacists are threatening to protest outside the ministry every week until they get a satisfactory response.
