Hospitals are struggling with severe drug shortages and cancer patients have had their treatment upended by Sri Lanka's worst economic crisis since independence in 1948.

Hundreds of people have had their treatment upended by the country’s major economic crisis.

Hospitals across Sri Lanka are struggling to contend with severe drug shortages, which have worsened over the last eight months amid an economic crisis.

"If I had been able to get treatment properly during June, July and August there is a good possibility I could have reduced the lung cancer," he told Reuters.
