Article Summary:
Aden does Not Get Medicines
A number of public hospital directors have complained of not receiving their medicine allocations for January and February. Several public hospitals in Aden are currently unable to provide their patients with the necessary drugs.
Such delays are now increasingly experienced following the centralization of medicine distribution from Sanaa. According to the new system, the country is divided into four major sectors containing a certain number of governorates to receive medicines and other medical supplies. This new idea has proved to be ineffectual, said a health-care source in Aden.
