The Min­istry of Health says there is a am­ple sup­ply of CDAP drugs avail­able in this coun­try and ad­vised cit­i­zens to vis­it al­ter­nate phar­ma­cies in their ar­eas, if re­quired, to have their pre­scrip­tions filled through CDAP.
The Min­istry al­so re­mind­ed phar­ma­cies to sub­mit their re­quests for re-or­ders of med­ica­tion to the Na­tion­al In­sur­ance Prop­er­ty De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (NIPDEC) well in ad­vance of the de­ple­tion of stocks so that there will be a con­sis­tent sup­ply of crit­i­cal drugs for the pub­lic.
The fol­low­ing is a press re­lease from the Min­istry of Health:

The Min­istry of Health (MoH) ad­vis­es that there is cur­rent­ly an am­ple sup­ply of all drugs on the Chron­ic Dis­ease As­sis­tance Pro­gramme (CDAP) sched­ule na­tion­al­ly. This in­cludes CDAP drugs that are used to treat heart dis­ease, cho­les­terol, asth­ma and di­a­betes. Phar­ma­cy op­er­a­tors are re­mind­ed that, while the pro­vi­sion of CDAP sup­plies to phar­ma­cies is done through a cycli­cal process, in­ter­im re­orders for spe­cif­ic drugs may be re­quest­ed, as per es­tab­lished process­es, and the re­quest will be ful­filled. Phar­ma­cies should sub­mit their re­quests for re­orders of med­ica­tion to the Na­tion­al In­sur­ance Prop­er­ty De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (NIPDEC) well in ad­vance of the de­ple­tion of stocks so that there will be a con­sis­tent sup­ply of crit­i­cal drugs for the pub­lic. Mem­bers of the pub­lic are ad­vised to vis­it al­ter­nate phar­ma­cies in their ar­eas, if re­quired, to have their pre­scrip­tions filled through CDAP. While all phar­ma­cies may not have every CDAP drug in stock at a par­tic­u­lar time, the Min­istry as­sures that there is an ad­e­quate na­tion­al stock of all CDAP drugs. The Min­istry of Health con­tin­ues to en­sure a ro­bust phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal sup­ply chain and the de­liv­ery of qual­i­ty health care for the ben­e­fit of the cit­i­zens of Trinidad and To­ba­go.
