A severe shortage of 51 essential medicines has gripped Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital (JSSH), a Delhi government-run facility, forcing hundreds of patients to either delay treatment or purchase medicines at steep prices from private pharmacies for the past month, officials aware of the matter said on Wednesday.
NEW DELHI:
A list issued by the hospital pharmacy on June 30 and accessed by HT confirmed the unavailability of 51 life-saving drugs at the hospital. The shortage includes acetylsalicylic acid (used to prevent heart attacks and strokes), amiodarone (for irregular heart rhythms), and levodopa-carbidopa (for Parkinson's disease).
