Kuwait Patients Helping Fund Society generously procures tuberculosis medicines for patients in Djibouti, April 2011

The Kuwait Patients Helping Fund Society, in collaboration with the Al-Sayer Society, generously funded the procurement of anti-tuberculosis medicines through the Global Drug Facility (GDF) to benefit tuberculosis patients in Djibouti. The medicines received through the GDF were carefully managed by health workers from the central to peripheral levels to ensure that each and every tuberculosis patient had access to these medicines at the right time and in the right place. Through this generous contribution medicine shortages were avoided that could have had a disastrous impact on the health of these patients, and by default, on the society at large.
