Health Ministry Secretary Janaka Chandragupta said that it has been decided to purchase medicines directly from Indian suppliers.
He said the orders have already been placed. Currently, there is a shortage of about 150 types of medicines in the country.
The Secretary said the relevant medicines will arrive in the country during the next 14 days.
He said that about 1,700 items including medicines are to be arrived in the country under the Indian credit facility, but an issue has arisen due to a delay.
