Phikwe Hospital Runs Out Of High Blood Pressure Drugs

 "This is a referral hospital and we get referrals from clinics in the region and the drugs were wiped out quickly. The problem is with CMS because they failed to supply us with the quantity we require. Right now, we have placed another order of 1,700 packets but I know we will not get this," he said.

Sukube explained that Nifedipine comes in two types - the XL and the normal drug. He stated that there can be a negative reaction if a patient does not take the drug for a month or two.
