Turkish pharmacists complain that 8 out of 10 prescriptions can not be executed due to supply problems.

Due to the rapid rise in the exchange rate and rising inflation, the drug crisis in Turkey is growing.

Pharmacies report that there are problems in the supply of more than 850 drugs and that this number is increasing day by day.

Turkey is dependent on foreign medicines, both for manufactured medicines and raw materials. 90% of the raw materials of the products it produces are from abroad.

And the raw material is bought in euros.
