As part of the Agreement on the provision of medicines for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases, UNDP has delivered the next batch of medicines intended for the treatment of oncological and hematological diseases.

The following medicines were handed over to the Ministry in this new batch:

• Paclitaxel
