Pharmacy under fire: managing medicines in war zones
Please note that this episode includes discussions of war and injury that may be distressing to some listeners, with stories from pharmacists working in Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza.
Horrific stories of injury and death in war zones across the world have become a staple of daily news headlines since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In an effort to help, the UK government and grassroots organisations have sent packages of aid — including medicines — to support local healthcare systems. However, pharmacists on the ground have reported that large portions of the supplies sent go to waste and have called for a shift towards aid that is more targeted to the needs of their patients.
In this episode of The PJ Pod, David Lipanovic, senior clinical reporter, speaks to pharmacists with first-hand experience in sourcing medicines to treat patients with both chronic and acute conditions in areas of conflict. We hear from them about what medicines their patients desperately need and what happens to when medicines that are not needed go to waste.
Thank you to Saleyha Ahsan, a humanitarian doctor undertaking research into how patients are impacted by the destruction of healthcare in war zone at the University of Cambridge; María Alejandra Martin Escalona, a humanitarian pharmacist working for Doctors Without Borders; Mark Koziol, chair of the Pharmacists’ Defence Association; and Catherine Duggan, chief executive of the International Pharmaceutical Federation.
