The Executive Director of SOCCEE, Sunusi Hashim, reported in an interview on Friday that over 3,000 tuberculosis (TB) patients in Kano have been unable to receive treatment due to a significant shortage of essential medical supplies. He highlighted that critical diagnostic tools, particularly GeneXpert cartridges, were not available in the state during the first and second quarters of 2026. This shortage has raised concerns about the potential impact on TB management and patient outcomes in the region. Health authorities are urged to address the supply chain issues to ensure that patients can access necessary treatment.
