Medicine Shortage
Today’s tour comes amid a shortage of medicines in Egypt as some vital medicines for common diseases are unavailable in pharmacies like medicines for hypertension and diabetes.
The Cabinet has received several complaints in this regard, according to a statement released by the cabinet on Sunday. “We must work to solve these problems and coordinate with pharmaceutical companies to double production. We are ready to support any steps in this file,” said Madbouli.
The EDA also reassured citizens about the strategic stockpile of these medicines.
Director of Health Ministry's Pharmaceutical Inspection Department Moustafa Al Sayed said that 84,000 inspections have taken place this year.
