Due to the possible shortage of medicines in Colombia, President Gustavo Petro asked the Superintendence of Health and the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the events that have been reported in various regions of the country for several weeks.
“By not buying drugs just to push a political outcome, you are committing a crime that must be investigated. I ask the Superintendence of Health and the Prosecutor’s Office to objectively and independently investigate this situation, ”said the president on his Twitter account.
In recent days, the National Institute for Food and Drug Surveillance (Invima) announced what would be the shortage of medicines in various parts of Colombia. Likewise, he said that, to overcome this crisis, priority is given to those procedures that are related to health records and those authorizations that are imported for a single occasion.
“We spoke with importers of raw materials and drivers of national generics where they assure us that they have stocks in the warehouses, but that these are not being requested,” highlighted at the time Francisco Rossi who is the director of Invima.
