The head of the Tuberculosis Department at the National Communicable Disease Control Centre in Tripoli, Mohammed al-Farjani, said that many patients suffering from tuberculosis infection were unable to obtain treatment due to the lack of the anti-tuberculosis vaccine, which had completely vanished for nearly two months.

Farjani told Libya Channel that they only received 25% of the quantity needed during this week that was provided by some local suppliers and with the help of some benefactors, while about 2000 cases remained untreated.

He explained that a shipment is expected to arrive next Wednesday, and if it arrives, it will be distributed immediately and on the same day to cases that are still pending, putting the blame on the bad administrative system and complications, which monopolizes the medicine supply claiming the fear of misuse of medicine.
