Strikes on drug warehouses: Ministry of Health assesses shortage risk in Ukraine
Published
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has reported that Russian attacks on the country's pharmaceutical infrastructure are causing supply disruptions for certain medicines. This concerns some drugs that reach pharmacies and hospitals.
According to representatives of the ministry, strikes on warehouses are complicating the logistics and delivery of medicines to the regions. As a result, some pharmacies may temporarily run short of certain medications. The ministry notes that the situation varies depending on the region and the type of drug.
However, according to the Ministry of Health's assessment, there is currently no systemic shortage of medicines in Ukraine. The state is working to ensure the uninterrupted supply of necessary drugs, including through alternative routes and reserves.
Patients who take medication regularly are advised to check in advance whether the required drugs are available at pharmacies and, if necessary, to consult a doctor about possible substitutes.
