Drug shortages

Sir Puka still denies drug shortages

He said drugs are available if not at hospitals, then it should be at the Area Medical Stores at Badili in Port Moresby.

With growing concerns from aid posts and clinics around the country facing shortages in medical drugs, Health Minister Sir Puka Temu has once again, taken a defensive stance.

He told this newsroom that like TB drugs and ART drugs for HIV patients, the Health Department always replenishes such drugs, which leaves a vacuum in between.
