Amid drug shortage, Gaza health ministry stops chemotherapy treatments
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAshraf al-Qidra, the spokesman for the Hamas-run Gazan health ministry, says chemotherapy treatments at Gaza City’s pediatric hospital are being stopped because the hospital has run out of a vital drug used to boost the immune systems of patients undergoing the treatment.
“Chemotherapy treatments at Rantisi Hospital will come to a halt Sunday morning,” al-Qidra says, “because of the depletion of the drug Neupogen used to boost the immunity of patients, putting the lives of hundreds of sick people in serious danger if this crisis is not resolved immediately.”
