Transparency International Zimbabwe reveals corruption in medicine supply chain, causing drug shortages and a black market.

Transparency International Zimbabwe (TI-Z) reveals corruption gaps in Zimbabwe's medicine supply chain, leading to drug shortages and a thriving black market. A recent corruption risk assessment with the Canadian embassy highlights procurement as a high-risk area with bribery, favoritism, and political influence. Vulnerable groups, like women and adolescent mothers, are severely impacted by the crisis, and TI-Z urges comprehensive reforms, including e-procurement, to address the issue.
