The National Medical Store (NMS) faces challenges in combating drug theft due to the lack of stringent penalties, despite an increased budget.
KAMPALA, UGANDA – The National Medical Store (NMS) has identified the lack of a stringent law to penalise offenders as a major obstacle in the fight against the theft of drugs. Despite the government increasing its budget to 117 billion shillings this financial year, drug theft remains a significant challenge, hampering the entity's ability to supply medicine across the country.
