In Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Health and Child Care has raised the alarm over the shortage of Tuberculosis drugs essential for HIV/TB treatment. This has come barely a month after thousands of nurses called off their strikes. It was a three-month strike over salaries and Covid-19 protective gear.
The shortage of TB medication presents serious problems for the understaffed healthcare sector. Also it may lead to weaker immune systems for the people, making way for other opportunistic diseases. In Zimbabwe, it is estimated that about 30,000 people fall ill from TB each year, and about 4,600, die due to this disease. But now people living with HIV and those with tuberculosis can now collect their medication from mobile refill centres in Harare.
