Stocks of 525 types of medicines and 5376 types of surgical equipment have run out, announced the Society of Government Pharmacists announced in a statement.
The depletion is 38.7 per cent for medicines and 62.9 per cent for surgical equipment, it revealed.
The Union added that although it had informed the authorities that the situation had been developing in the country for about four months, no positive intervention was made. In the future the hospital system may collapse and patients would become extremely helpless, it added.
