THE drug is said to be stuck in Israel, and this may leave many patients who rely on medication in danger.
A source who is a doctor at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH) told Daily Sun that the drug that boosts white cell counts was running out of stock.
“The drug is used in oncology mostly because chemo suppresses the bone marrow. Now this drug is stuck in Israel. Out of stock in government and some private (hospitals),” said the doctor.
