Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Garzon Public Clinic, the only clinic run in Firestone District, Division 16, Lower Margibi County, has been hit by drugs shortage.<\/p>\n

Doctors and nurses at the clinic have decried the lack of medicine or medication to adequately cater to patients due to the challenge posed by the lack of drugs.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the NewDawn newspaper recently, Zubah W. Kormah, Assistant Officer-in-Charge (OIC) at Garzon Public Clinic, complained of the lack of medicines, and sufficient medical supplies.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kormah also complained about poor water system and the lack of an ambulance, which has made responding to patients and emergency cases difficult.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kormah said sometimes patients die without proper care, or while enroute through a long distance to a referral hospital to seek medication.<\/p>\n

The Garzon Reserve Clinic is supposed to cater to the health needs of thousands of inhabitants from over fifty communities in that part of rural Liberia.<\/p>\n

It was constructed in 2022 by Margibi County Electoral District #1 Representative Tibelrosa S. Tarponweh.<\/p>\n

The project was in response to the urgent needs of the people in the area who had lacked a health facility for a long period.<\/p>\n

But this intervention still faces the challenge of the lack of medical supplies to make the facility helpful to the people.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kormah pleaded with the Government of Liberia to tackle the lack of medicines and essential surgical materials at the clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of our patients are being sent to the Duside or C.H. Rennie Hospitals [at] the other end of Margibi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he noted it\u2019s a very long distance to reach those places from Garzon clinic.<\/p>\n

As a result, he said sometimes the people die because they don\u2019t have enough supplies to proceed with their medication at Garzon.<\/p>\n

He stated that even pregnant women die due to this situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have enough staff to help patients, but this is useless since we don\u2019t have enough materials,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need supplies urgently to meet the needs of our people to save their lives,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kormah also appealed to the Government of Liberia to construct a nurse quarter in the area to enable health workers to reside in the hospital.<\/p>\n
