An informed source revealed that the disappearance of vital essential medicines is disrupting patients’ treatment journeys and exacerbating their suffering amid the absence of an official coordination system that regulates medicine availability and informs patients and doctors about the situation.
The source explained that scenes of patients standing before nearly empty pharmacy shelves have become frequent, as they search for medications prescribed by doctors—especially those related to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and depression—without finding clear answers or approved alternatives.
This situation places patients and their families in a stressful cycle of visits between doctors and pharmacists, amid the lack of any digital or official mechanism to inform them about medicine availability or possible substitutes, deepening the crisis and increasing psychological and financial burdens on households.
Despite some reassurances from the concerned authorities, the source confirmed a clear malfunction in the supply and monitoring chain, leading many patients to resort to the black market or to importing medicines from abroad, sometimes under medically unregulated conditions, exposing their health to additional risks.
The source emphasized the urgent need to establish a unified official platform connecting patients, doctors, and pharmacists to provide accurate and real-time information on medicine stock, aiming to restore trust in the healthcare system and alleviate the burden on citizens.
This lack of coordination is considered one of the main factors worsening the medicine shortage crisis, pushing citizens into increasing hardship within a health system that lacks transparency and effective communication.
