Some patients are spending a year and a half in hospital isolation receiving old medicines instead of just six months of treatment at home, because countries do not have access to the most up-to-date therapies to cure people of the infectious disease.
If it’s a question of cost, then keeping someone in hospital for a year and a half surely has to be more expensive than just buying the drugs.
