MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president is inaugurating a ‘super pharmacy’ in a bid to end the woes of patients throughout the country who are often told they need a specific medicine — but the hospital in question doesn’t have it.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s solution was to outfit a big warehouse on the outskirts of Mexico City to centralize a supply and send it to hospitals throughout the country.

Doesn’t Mexico have universal healthcare? These seem to go hand in hand then.
You have to pay for meds in the UK too, although it’s very reasonably priced.
Same in Mexico. The issue isn’t the price, it’s the lack of supply in certain regions.
Don’t they already have heavily armed pharmacies delivering product to every corner
