Useless and now extinct Institute for Health for Wellbeing (Insabi) reported that it has not received 27.9 million drugs and therapeutic materials for this year and 2024. A year later, in another case, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador reported that mega pharmacy all the medicines in the world to supply the country.
Until the end of 2023 it was opened a shell called “Mega-pharmacy of well-being” Almost a month after the start of work, Jens Pedro Lohmann Iturburu, general director of the Biological and Reagent Laboratories of Mexico (Birmex) and those responsible for the site, reported that 67 prescriptions had been issued. Yes, 67.
“We serve 523 pages, of these 523 pages we have 292 served internally, that is, between institutions or a route is planned, we have 164 that are already in the place where the person requested the medicine. and we have 67 that “they were properly supplied,” he said.
According to the official report, they were more than 12,000 calls receivedof which about 6000 were “dummy” or did not interact. In addition, 4,000 calls were made without the interlocutor actually having a prescription, 523 pages were processed, of which 292 were processed within the company, 164 at the requested location 67 were filled properly, that is, 5 prescriptions per day..
This absurdity is combined with a distant airport with a minimum number of flights and with one or two passengers, with a train that, since opening, has been delayed in its flights and ticket sales due to various glitches in the tracks, cars, operation, etc., or an oil refinery, which has not processed a single barrel of oil.
However, this absurdity shows the extent of the damage when we realize that the real shortage of medicines that our country is experiencing from the beginning of the six-year period.
A few days ago, hospital workers in Mexico City sent us a list of at least 85 drugs that are currently out of stockwhich creates health consequences for millions of patients in our country.
This situation is not in one hospital, but in several in the capital and in the interior of the country. According to the information collected, hospitals informed pharmaceutical companies about the shortage and when representatives of the pharmaceutical industry They try to negotiate or deliver, they are not allowed.
Added to this is a new aggravating factor. When the due date is finally given, she is not sent to the appropriate health facility and is now needs to be delivered to a mega pharmacy, which takes much longer.
We had the opportunity to talk with doctor at La Raza Hospitalwho, for security reasons, asked us to protect his identity.
Will this shortage of drugs in pharmacies “force” hospitals and clinics to benefit megapharmacies?
Yeah
How big is the expected impact of shortages and delivery delays? (Health Impact – Possible Deaths) (Economic Impact – Sales)
We have a month without medicines, which were previously supplied on a day-to-day basis.”
3. List from La Raza only. Can you confirm that all hospitals are in this situation with the same lists?
I only have information about the race from CMN, of course they are the same at other hospitals as the goal is to get the drugs to the mega pharmacy and not to the hospitals.
For various doctors we spoke with, the risks of this situation include:
Relapses of diseases such as cancer or diabetes
Endurance for loss of continuity of treatment
More transfusions due to loss of responses
Risks for uncontrolled hypertension and with risk cerebral hemorrhage
“This is not about pharmacy, supply or unity, these are central and federal regulations (…) And what is alarming is that in addition to the shortage now they will no longer supply hospital pharmacies but the mega pharmacy is clearly delaying the patient’s receipt of medications on time,” he concluded.
