Vital healthcare in Temotu faces critical shortage of medical drugs

Kala Bay Clinic, a vital healthcare facility serving the community on Santa Cruz Island in Temotu Province, is currently facing a shortage of essential medical drugs.

This situation has raised concerns among residents and local authorities, highlighting the urgent need for support to ensure the continued well-being of the community.

Kala Bay Clinic is located in the heart of the isolated Santa Cruz Island and plays a crucial role in providing healthcare services to residents in the challenging geographic conditions.

Unfortunately, the shortage of essential medical drugs has created a significant obstacle to delivering effective patient care. Patients requiring critical treatments are facing hardships due to the unavailability of necessary medications.

The drug shortage is attributed to a combination of factors, including logistical difficulties, limited access to medical supply chains, and the clinic’s remote location.

Community leaders are urging government agencies and international organizations to provide assistance in addressing the drug shortage.
