Medicine availability at risk? Stocks only for three months

Date:

At present medicine stocks owned by Osusal pharmacies are sufficient only for three more months, revealed the All Ceylon Pharmacy Owners’ Association, warning of a potential shortage of medicines after the period.

According to Union President Ama Chandika Gankanda, there is a shortage of medicines about 05 per cent used for patients in the country.

Should the government fail to intervene and remedy the situation, the shortage of medicines may be worse than the shortage of cement, gas, milk powder and fuel, he warned, pointing out that everything depends on the health of the people.
