Nigeria to receive leprosy drugs after a year-long delay

Leprosy Drug Shortage in Nigeria: The World Health Organization will send leprosy medications to Nigeria after a year-long delay caused by bureaucratic issues and new testing regulations, which left many patients without treatment and at risk of disabilities.

Impact on Patients: The shortage has severely affected patients' health, with reports of worsening conditions and increased complications due to lack of access to multi-drug therapy, highlighting systemic challenges in the distribution of essential medicines.
