An 83-year-old man with Alzheimer's faces a critical shortage of his prescribed medication, rivastigmine. After three months without access through the public health system, his family is forced to buy expensive private alternatives to prevent further cognitive decline.
This widespread issue affects dozens of patients, leaving families desperate. The health system claims no reported shortages, creating a stark contrast with the reality on the ground.
The family is taking legal action, filing an appeal to ensure Don Lorenzo receives his vital treatment. Will this elderly man and others like him finally get the medication they need to combat Alzheimer's?
