‘Medicine available in very few health stores at same price’

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 11: Despite the efforts exerted by the Ministry of Health and its employees in the face of the repercussions of the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has been going on for nearly a year and a half, there are obstacles that stand in the way of health teams, nursing bodies and medical care recipients, as some pharmacies in the private sector and health centers are currently suffering from a shortage of Panadol. Panadol is a medication used in many cases to treat fever, symptoms of cold and flu, headache, arthritis, muscle pain, and back, neck, shoulder, teeth and mouth problems, reports Al-Qabas daily. Even though the ministry’s success in vaccinating about 100,000 people per day with Pfizer and Oxford vaccines is evidence of its success in its plans to reach the required societal immunity, this success on the other hand calls for an increase in the demand for Panadol medicine by the vaccinated people.
