For the benefit of all affected Nadi Hospital patients, I forward this info to the Minister of Health and Medical Services, with utmost respect.
As of Tuesday, September 26, 2023, Nadi Hospital pharmacy was “out of stock” of the following prescription drugs:
– Nifedipine SR Tabs 20mg
– Aspirin Tabs100mg
– Cartia Tabs100mg
– Clopidogrel Tabs75mg
– Losartin Tabs 25mg.
(There may be other drugs in short supply).
Non-communicable diseases are preventable.
Out-of-stock medication does not help. *(Poverty is very real. Many do not get three proper meals each day; every day. Not many patients, these days, can afford to go to private chemists. They cannot absorb these little shocks) *
This medication shortage is the general periodic trend from many years ago.
Perhaps, the World Health Organisation can lend our Health Minister a solution to our ongoing periodic medication shortfalls.
