Jeevanee oral rehydration drink which is recommended for dengue patients is reported to be unavailable in private pharmacies across the country.
All-Island Private Pharmacy Owners’ Association President Chandika Gankanda said that Jeevanee has not been received for about a month now.
It was reported that there was a shortage of Jeevanee in government hospitals in the past due to issues in importing raw materials needed to produce Jeevanee locally.
It was reported that dengue patients who are being treated at home have faced many discomforts due to the shortage of Jeevanee.
