Following the essential medicine shortage, a consignment of anti-tetanus injections is expected to arrive in Pakistan on May 27. According to sources within Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan, a local pharmaceutical company has imported 1.5 million doses of the injection, which will be provided to the Punjab government. The Punjab government will start distributing the anti-tetanus injections from May 27, sources said. The pharmaceutical company is also producing the injections locally and has already prepared 1.5 million doses, which are currently undergoing quality testing. According to sources, the company’s prepared injections will be available in 15 days.
The development came at the time when government and private hospitals are facing a shortage of anti-tetanus injections. Pharmacies across the city are experiencing a scarcity of anti-tetanus injections, leaving many with limited access to crucial medical treatment.
