COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating medicine shortage in Mexico
Al Jazeera, 15 Apr 2021
Mexico is facing a nationwide medicine shortage.
Legal experts say that while medicine shortages are not a new phenomenon in Mexico, the problem worsened after the president nationalised the country's drug procurement agency.
Health observers say that with the coronavirus outbreak, drug shortages have only grown, and so have protests and lawsuits demanding access to life-saving medicine.
