Health facilities have stocks of insulin on their shelves and distributions also continue - Health Ministry

The Health Ministry says health facilities have stocks of insulin on their shelves and distributions also continue around the country.

This is after there was a shortage of stocks of insulin used by those with Type 1 diabetes late last year.

A government statement says the shortage happened due to demand supply issues experienced from wholesalers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical markets.

The Health Ministry says when the shortage happened last year, Type 1 diabetes patients were given two other types of insulin approved on the Fiji Essential Medicine List.

Insulin was also reserved for elderly patients and pediatric cases during the shortage.
