He stressed that the soaring prices threaten Sudan&#39;s health situation and exacerbate current living problems.<\/p>\n<p>The recent medicine crisis has contributed to taking about five companies out of business and laying off more than 40 pharmacists, Morgos said. &ldquo;They all think that the prices of medicines will continue to rise, with the decline of the Sudanese pound against the US Dollar.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Most of the medicines in Sudan are imported. As an economist explained in December, traders are now allowed to freely import medicines with hard currency bought at the black market. The black market rate of the Sudanese pound to the dollar (SDG11.6)&nbsp;is almost double the official rate.<\/p>\n<p>Many patients in Khartoum complained to Radio Dabanga about the dire medicine shortage and soaring prices. A member of the Association of Private Pharmacies confirmed &ldquo;a 70 percent increase&rdquo; of some prices last month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-large superwebshare-button-square superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #d52631;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share article<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plight of medicine supply in Sudan has worsened as competent authorities fail to provide vital drugs and prices have increased, sometimes by up to 100 percent, over the recent period, according to Dr. El Nasri Margus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-181195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-opinion-and-analysis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
