The Department of Health (DOH) has expressed alarm over the shortage of anti-tuberculosis drugs, saying the existing supply will not cover over 365,000 TB patients targeted for treatment this year.

Stocks of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in national and regional warehouses are only good for 189,647 patients until year-end, the DOH said.

“This is still short of the remaining 365,998 adult patients that we aim to treat for the remainder of the year,” the agency said.

International partners of the DOH earlier noted the global scarcity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in rifampicin-based drugs.

These partners include the Global Fund, Stop TB Partnership, US Agency for International Development and World Health Organization.

The DOH pointed out the unsuccessful procurement of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs by the DOH Disease Prevention and Control Bureau in October 2023 and December 2023.
