Despite continuous efforts by Region Two to secure an adequate supply of drugs for hospitals, health centres and health posts on the Essequibo Coast, the region continues to suffer from the unavailability of approximately 90% of common drugs.
This is according to Arnold Adams, Chairman of the Health and Sanitation Committee and Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Two.
Adams expressed this concern at the statutory meeting of the RDC held on Tuesday in the boardroom of the RDC.
