Sri Lanka's state-run hospitals are running out of essential medicine as a result of the current economic crisis. There are shortages of anesthetic drugs used in the surgery, hypertension and life-saving medicines, and antibiotics drugs. The project will support these hospitals with the essential drugs required to treat life-threatening situations.
Challenge
Sri Lanka's state-run hospitals which are operated free of charge are running out of essential medicine and medical equipment while the shortage threatens a major health crisis due to a possible medicine supply chain collapse. Sri Lanka imports 80 percent of its medicines, but a severe shortage of dollars due to the ongoing economic crisis has led to a shortage of essential drugs and importers are struggling to meet the demand in the country.
Long-Term Impact
Through this campaign, we aim to support the URGENT medical needs of as many patients by donating medicine to the Govt. Hospitals to assist those patients facing life-threatening situations at the hospitals, which eventually will enable them to be pain-free and increase longevity.
