[World Report] India drug shortage leaves doctors rationing chemotherapy

India is facing a shortage of key medications, forcing doctors to ration chemotherapy for patients. This issue primarily affects the drugs cisplatin and carboplatin, which are essential for oncological treatment. The scarcity of these medications is leading to treatment interruptions for many patients, which can have serious consequences for their health. The main reason for the disruption in supplies is the conflict in Iran, which is impacting global supply chains. The situation in India is critical and requires immediate solutions to ensure treatment continuity. Samaan Lateef reported on this alarming situation from Mumbai.
