A supply shortage in several Hanoi hospitals is forcing patients to purchase basic medical equipment like catheters and IV needles on their own.

 

Linh, 33, was informed by Hanoi's K Hospital in Hoan Kiem District that she would have to purchase a catheter on her own for the surgery of a family member with thyroid cancer.

 

The hospital's staff said they lacked certain medical equipment like catheters, which meant patients or their family had to buy them from outside.
