The Supplies Chain Management Complex of the Ministry of Health (MoPH), located at Diamond on the East Cost of Demerara, is well stocked with three months’ worth of vital drugs and supplies for the regional health facilities.
Following reports of shortages of important supplies including gauze, syringes and cotton wool at health facilities, on Friday, April 13, the Minister of Public Health, Volda Lawrence (left in photo) and an advisory team visited the complex (also known as the Diamond Bond) to ensure that supplies are available and can be readily dispatched to the regions, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.
Following the visit, Lawrence observed, “the critical drugs that we are hearing are not being made available at the various health facilities, we have been able to see that many or almost all of them are here. Now we are working on the dispatch.” (DPI photo)
