Thailand’s Rural Doctor Society complains of serious Favipiravir shortage

13 Sept 06:29 Key points summarised by AI

The Rural Doctor Society (RDS) reports a critical shortage of Favipiravir, forcing hospitals to restrict its distribution, primarily to COVID-19 patients over 80.
This scarcity, driven by the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, contrasts with assurances from the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) that sufficient supplies are available and in production.
