Medicine deficiency in Neuss: Children suffer, doctors raise the alarm!

Neuss, Deutschland - An alarming lack of medication shakes the Neuss pharmacies and clinics! The situation is serious: antibiotic juices for children are hardly available, diabetes medication are rare, and even saline solutions have become in short supply. This is not the first time that such bottlenecks are reported. Last year, doctors and pharmacists complained about similar problems. Despite a new law of the traffic light coalition to combat delivery bottlenecks, which was launched in 2023, the situation remains tense.

The terrifying numbers

"We have between 300 and 500 medication that are currently not available," warns Christoph Napp-Saarbourg, the pharmacy spokesman for the Rhein-Kreis Neuss. These alarming numbers illustrate the precarious situation in the pharmacies. "I know colleagues who are even longer the list of not available items," he adds. These serious bottlenecks lead to a "lack of supply" for important drugs, which considerably stresses health care in the region.

The effects are far -reaching and not only affect the pharmacies, but also the patients who are urgently dependent on these medication. The question remains: How long can this critical situation continue, and what is done to close the gaps in care? Time is pushing, and the concerns of the affected people grow with every non -available package.
