A recent report by an organisation called Ritshidze, shows that health facilities in the North West are still plagued by various challenges including shortages of medicine and vaccines.

The report states that there were 398 reports of shortage of medication across 57 facilities and this is one of the major reasons that lead to patients defaulting on treatment.

Arriving there, they have to queue for hours and hours only to return home empty-handed because there is no medication, residents say this is one of the major reasons that discourages them from going to clinics. “Then they give us a different date, but when we go on that new date, we are still told that there’s no medication.”
