This crisis has become a threat to the lives of millions of patients. At least 80 important medicines are not available, of which 25 have no alternative medicine, including life-saving medicines used to treat diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease and psychiatric diseases.
The lack of long-acting insulin injections is leading to poor blood sugar control in diabetic patients, increasing the risk of kidney failure, vision loss, and amputations, while transplant patients are suffering from dangerous fungal infections due to the lack of a key antifungal drug.
