Health Minister Dr Ahmadou Samateh has highlighted the issues affecting the supply of drugs in The Gambia's health facilities, citing GPPA procurement methods and unreliable suppliers as the main problems. He revealed that all drugs and medical consumables used in the country are imported, but many suppliers, mainly Gambians, have failed to deliver as per their contracts. Despite an increase in the health budget, only 30% of the national requirement for medicines can be covered, he added.
