Supply chain breakdown affects hospitals: Minister

Health and HIV/AIDS Minister, Sir Puka Temu, made the comment on Friday in parliament.

Ijivitari MP Richard Masare brought the issue up, stating that medical supply was not the issue.

“We do have enough in the health stores but there is a break down in the supply process.

“One of the issues identified is that they want to send the medicines but there is no logistical support,” said Masare.
