Shortage of Insulin at State Hospitals Forces Diabetes Patients to Seek Private Alternatives

Date:

An alarming scarcity of insulin within state hospitals has compelled diabetes patients who rely on government-provided insulin to turn to private pharmacies for their medical needs.

According to Dr. Chamal Wijesinghe, spokesperson for the Government Medical Officers Association, this situation has prompted a distressing reality where only a fraction of these patients possess the financial capability to purchase insulin vials from private sources.

Dr. Wijesinghe underscored the potentially grave health implications of this predicament, with a significant number of patients facing the imminent risk of deteriorating health conditions due to the lack of accessible insulin.
