“While the situation is fluid, based on appropriate procurement and financial management, we have not experienced any widespread shortages of any essential medicines over the past five years.”
We know the difficulties we went through in accessing vaccines for Covid-19. Because of late acquisition we are now sitting with more than 25-million doses of Covid-19 vaccine because of hoarding by developed countries at the height of Covid-19.
The last time the government gave an update on Covid-19 statistics was in February. At the time the recovery rate was 97.3% and the vaccine uptake was at 38,405.

Mohale said the people who were still getting vaccinated were those living with comorbidities “and adults who are high risk”.
