The spokesperson for the ministry, Ashraf Al-Qudra, warned of serious health complications that may worsen the patients’ conditions, calling on the international organizations to urgently provide medications.
Al-Qudra had previously announced the depletion of the anesthesia nitrous oxide gas in operating rooms along with severe shortage of other medical gases.
