Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR) has called on government to ensure adequate availability of medicines and other logistics required for the management of COVID-19 cases at the Primary Health Care level.
The Alliance, in a press statement, said the call was necessitated by the many complaints about the inadequate facilities for testing and diagnosing of coronavirus.
It said some members of the public, who had had recent contacts with the COVID-19 healthcare response systems set up by the government, had complained about the high cost of COVID-19 case management medicines.
