Health minister says Czechia will receive 360,000 packs of penicillin this autumn

Some 360,000 packs of penicillin will be delivered to the Czech Republic by the end of November, Health Minister Vlastimil Válek said on CNN Prima News on Sunday, referring to the long ongoing drug shortage in Czechia. He added that penicillin is gradually reaching pharmacies, although not all pharmacies are equally well-supplied.

MP Kamal Farhan from the opposition ANO party countered that there was no guarantee of there being enough additional medication in pharmacies this autumn.
