“There has been an ongoing drug shortage in the hospital for some time. Last week, we received a three-month medical consignment. And we are now preparing to receive more consignment for another three months ahead of the rainy season,” she said.
She pointed out that the drugs were supplied by the national health ministry and its health partners.
