Sudan drug prices rise amid dollar crisis
The rising cost of medications in Sudan is due to the depreciation of the Sudanese pound and increased import prices. Over the past few weeks, the prices of many medicines have increased by approximately 30% to 35%, placing a heavy burden on patients, especially those with chronic illnesses. The conflict in Sudan has led to the closure of many pharmaceutical factories, increasing reliance on imports and causing sharp fluctuations in exchange rates, which in turn has driven up medication prices and reduced the purchasing power of citizens. This situation causes significant suffering for patients, making it much more difficult financially to obtain medicines, threatening ongoing treatment, and leading to unsafe practices or delays in therapy.
