MCPA urges Subject Minister to reveal truth about pharmaceutical shortage

Date:

The Medical and Civil Rights Professional Association of Doctors (MCPA) in a letter addressed to the State Minister of Production, Supply and Regulation of Pharmaceuticals Channa Jayasumana urged that the public be informed of the truth about the shortage of medicines.

The public should informed of whether a shortage of medicines will be occurred in the future in the event that reports are surfacing that the stocks held by the public and private sectors are not sufficient for future times, the Union pointed out in its letter.

Adding that the people are too afraid of the occurrence of any shortage of medicines, the Union revealed that some of them are even collecting their own stocks of medicines exceeding the required amounts amid the fear, which can worsen the situation.

In the backdrop, informing the pubic about the actual situation would be necessary, should they not be worried, the MCPA stressed.
