9-mile Clinic Receives Donations

Due to COVID-19, it created a world-wide shipment logistic problem and compounded with overseas supply shortage, creating a substantial drugs shortage for the Area Medical Store in NCD since last year.

For the past few months, NCD clinics were receiving substantially reduced medicine from AMS to replenish their stock, with many of the basic medicine such as paracetamol, antibiotics unavailable in the clinic. The nurses have had to ask the out-patients to buy the necessary medicine from pharmacies.
